It is a travesty that anyone is living on the streets. When the temperatures drop it is a nightmare for those poor souls. I am also thinking about some of our pensioners who will freeze in their own homes because they can’t afford to heat them. All stuff that could easily be rectified by a government that cares about the welfare of its own people. Your brevity here creates much thought and many images Neville. A lonely existence. Have a good Wednesday Neville.

Faved! Not culling, but this poem! Horrifying what we humans are capable of. So much is said here in only 17 syllables. Excellent haiku! 🙏🖤❤️🖤

The first definition is a rough enough affair to involve the second. Doesn’t get prettier or better… sure a third use will be out and about sooner than we can imagine….

A piercing, haunting haiku. It shakes one soul and muddies one’s thoughts at the waterhole of coexistence. Very nicely written

Great word play herd/heard
The visuals are graphic, I didn’t just see elephants. I saw whales and genocide too. And the noise, …….
Imagery has always been important to me in poetry to convey thoughts and feelings. You nailed this one. Brevity can open up so much thought.
The whole subject matter is repugnant, but it needs to be talked about to stop it happening. Brilliant

True words Neville, culling for pleasure or profit is despicable.

A lengthy post would not cover this as immediately and comprehensively as your haiku and title has. A gut wrench in seventeen syllables. Faved of course, Neville.

Cassie58 said:
Who’s counting. Not me. I looked up Yukiko to find it is a feminine Japanese name. It also mentioned Happiness. I had two distinctly different images here Neville arising out of blinding white sheets. I saw snow, but I also saw something completely different which made me smile. Beautiful.

I have found that even in Nihongo there are awesome haiku that don’t quite follow the syllabic 5-7-5 pattern, having left room for asymmetric beauty alongside typical symmetry.

Neville the artistry of leaving this almost haiku. One syllable short is a brilliant step in adaptation. The most beautiful image of perfection blemished by one small item just as it is in nature.

Amen, could be twice as long. Not sure about world war, we humans may erase ourselves in any number of ways before it comes to that. Which, unfortunately, is all too likely. Good work here.

The inevitable day of dear, dear Self. Why on earth in lamenting this horrendous state of affairs you cull smirks and a fit of giggles from me, I can\'t guess. Lovely and excellently rendered tribute to the miserable condition of the world, a haunting yet tripping poignancy in tow. Thank you for sharing.

A wonderful tribute to the moon Goddess Neville. And her halo, not seen so often but memorable always. Could be a metaphor here as well. Just lovely poetry.
