Will man ever learn?… very poignant!
A Senryū:
“O Mars! O Aries!
What will quench your thirst?
How much blood? How many tears?”

I agree with your take on war, no’one really wins..
So sad, yet true. Tanks, smoking sorrow – great personification!
The unfortunate answer to your question: probably not.

the question really pushes the readers towards contemplation…wonderful haiku..well crafted
Amazing how much you have said here! Although your subject is a sad one, I enjoyed the poem especially ‘smoking sorrow’ and ‘war genius.’ Well done, Hazel.
Thank you Barbara
waste of genius isn’t it!
It is! Glad you spotted that.
