Chen-ou Liu & Scott Terrill: Wednesday Haiku, Week 69

Pacific shore...
a tidal wave speaking
my mother tongue

etched in names
etched in stone
my shadow

my dead mother--
every time I see the ocean
every time...

Susan Diridoni & Stella Pierides: Wednesday Haiku, Week 58

"High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants. 

Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. 

Do not build any homes below this point." 1.
