【Kamikaze Toasts】 except for the haiku 'How pitifully' by Matsuo Basho〜A historical picture scroll of the battle written in haiku.

Kamikaze Toasts

bY POETAQ

except for the haiku 'How pitifully' by Matsuo Basho


How pitifully

Beneath the warrior’s helm

A cricket’s weeping

—Basho,1689


Divine wind blew strong

In thirteenth century’s storm

Mongol’s fate undone　


Time passes still cruel

World War II’s fierce battles

Kamikaze’s fall   


Now divine drones soar

Unmanned weapons claim human tolls

Civilization?  


Lending foes & friends

To merchants, death & interest

Same amusement, ends?　


Sirs in the salon

Satanic saints raise their toasts

“Voulez-vous Encore?”(“Would you like more?”)
