I like these. The first two remind me of seeing the solid gold gates at the palace of Versailles which the revolutionaries stormed and tore down… I like the line “dictators look so foolish”… that juxtaposition of power/authority and pitiable/ childishness brings a smile.
I love these current event haiku trios…Maybe our next project should be to start a newspaper that is written entirely in hiaku… A blessing to the world of over-thinking : )
