Poetry in the Moment: A Wall of Moms Tanka

inspired by this exciting piece of Washington Post news, July 22

What choice do we have?’: Portland’s "Wall of Moms" faces off with federal officers at tense protests

streets shrouded

in foggy darkness

a wall of moms

between lines of riot police

and BLM protesters

NeverEnding Story, July 22 2020

FYI: BLM stands for Black Lives Matter.

My book is now available through www.lulu.com [Liu's] haiku resonates the Asian spirit, and makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent; the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most Anglo-Western haiku like poems. His poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader. They do not tell all, are not based on an “aha” moment, and have no definitive ending. More importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid, the magic inherent in Japanese poetry. -- Poetry Review by Robert D. Wilson, Editor-in-chief of Simply Haiku.
