On hiroshima day,
doves observe
moment of silence.
Even the raging wind
dies down.

Author Notes
The United States dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, on August 6, 1945, to bring the war to a speedy end instantly killing about 210,000 people. Hiroshima Day is observed in Japan every year on August 6th to promote peace politics. It has been seventy-six years since thousands of lives lost their breath in a second by a single atomic bomb.
SEPTOLET is an American variation of haiku. It's French but otherwise unknown. It is an unrhymed poem that consists of fourteen words divided in two stanzas. Both stanzas deal with the same thought and create a picture with words. You may use art with your Septolet. The first letter of first word in each stanza begins with a capital letter. Align left. No rhyming words. Period at end of each stanza. No proper nouns. Give your poem a title. shadow poetry.com -- all poetry.com -- septolet history
