Four Haiku about the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

by

John J. Dunphy

Ukrainian city

bartender now makes

Molotov cocktails

(3.2.22)

sound of purring

woman cuddles her cat

in the bomb shelter

(3.3.22)

bottle

drained of beer and refilled

with gasoline

(3.4.22)

carton of Molotov cocktails

in each bottle

a sunflower seed

(3.4.22)
