a Russian tank calmly burns

Could I create a Tanka or Haiku in Spanish about the war in Ukraine? Or is only English supported? Thank you
Puedo crear un Tanka o Haiku en español sobre la guerra de Ucrania? O sólo se admite l inglés? Gracias
Yellow and sky Blue
Silence pierced – echoes of war
Tears of sorrow rain
Children’s laughter quickly fades
Megalomaniac’s dreams
the sound of bullets
apace
flames and heat
pregnant conscience silence
the smoke is like a bat’s wings
roaming across the sky
painful cries
covering the granules
Oh! this cruel war
stops! stop now !
roses have to bloom
Correct address please? Thanks.

How many poems?
Hi Jeffrey,
No limit on the number of poems you can submit.
summer is cold in Ukraine
the sun becoming chilled
with the fire
From the Bulgarian Gendai Haiku and Tanka Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BulgarianGendaiHaiku/posts/487223433823652) it looks like this is the correct email address: [email protected]
Thanks Greg – that does seem to have worked.

What a vivid picture your poem created for me…heartwrenching…..life and death. You have captured a moment succinctly…..evocative. Thank you.
