WARNING is very hard to watch
A few weeks ago, I watched a video that made me cry so hard. I don't think I will ever forget it. The picture is of Iryna Kostenko, a heartbroken Ukrainian mother from Kyiv, buried her son, Oleksei, 27, in their garden who was gunned down by Russian forces. She told BBC News: "The pain is so bad. Now I'm all alone. My son was young, 27 years old. He wanted to stay alive. I covered the grave with a blanket to protect it from the dogs. He isn't in a coffin, I had to roll him in a carpet. I lost everything."
IMAYO is an 8 -lines Japanese poem that has 7 syllables on the first line and 5 syllables on the second line (7/5). There is a caesura ( pause ~ ) between the first 7 syllables line and the final 5 syllables line (7~5). With IMAYO you can use any subject. It never rhymes.
