Fragment in Hokku

Circumpolar roses flashing, the only stars within reach.

Terrorist's bombs, with wings

Ooh, I like how you connected the roses with the explosions,
Because that reminds me of this song that tied 'White Roses' (A type of gasoline or explosive substance) and the eyes of the people in WWII I believe.

Done well :D I want to try writing a few-lined poem.

Beautiful. I can see the modernist influence - it's very like Pound and Eliot. I love it.

I like the linking of roses with bombs. Both blooming away. Clever, not an image or connection I would have made otherwise.

This was modelled after Ezra Pound's "In a station of the Metro". Please stop telling me I am missing a third line.
