Fire burns down trees Snow melts off of all the leaves But spring brings new life
While this tragedy destroyed much of Japan, it only really affected the outer, physical parts of Japan; the spirit of the Japanese people is still intact and they will come back together.
Never stop growing Rise of an awakening Light in the darkness
- By: Molly McMahon
This haiku shows that nothing will stop Japan from growing in all ways. Even when they are in the darkness and not doing so well, there is still light to be seen and growth that will happen. There is hope.
In the black night sky As all the stars flicker out The sun rises up
Even after the darkest of times, the sun will always come up and bring hope and better times with tomorrow. Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, will certainly rise again and only become stronger after this tragedy.
coming tragedy helpless friends in great distress strength. rejuvenate
My haiku expresses the horrible tragedy that has fallen upon our friends in Japan. Despite the great distress Japan is a Nation that will be able to bounce back to replenish to become an even stronger place.
Broken, Hungry, Lost; Warm hearts in a sea of cries Always- rise to give.
My haiku is about the tragic events that occurred on March 11, 2011. Mother nature, the strongest and most unpredictable force, struck once again. The vicious tidal waves, strong gushing waters spread over the precious land... taking not only loved ones, but food, hope and life. Yet, the Japanese are able to remain true to their customs. They remain hospitable in a dark time. You (Japan/Japanese) are our inspiration !!! ^.^Y
Uniforms lineup, School bells shatter chilly air Bass creates tremors.
My haiku is about a school in Japan where the students are lining up about to leave class and right as the school bell rings signaling the end of class, the earthquake occurs signaling the end of tranquility for the time being. The sound waves from the bell is almost as if it created the earthquake. Hope everything gets better
Gashed and bleeding red Tossed about by heavy storms The great pine lives on
The pine "bleeding red" represents that deep down, no matter who we are, we're all the same so we are hurting the same. The pine tree represent steadfastness in Japanese culture, so I believe that the Japanese can persevere in this time of great suffering to "live on" and rebuild their country.
death comes to all things though all is lost, as long as, the new flowers bloom
This haiku asks the reader to become tolerant and accepting of death, which is an important part of nature. Although death brings loss, the most important aspect is that death always leaves hope. That hope in this case as the flower that will bloom. As long as the flower bloom (new generation of children), the future is bright.
Warmth of summer nears Hope and promise are in sight Rising Sun Lives on
My haiku focuses on the future of Japan. What happened there was unavoidable and leaves many asking why. There are many things in life that we do not have control over, and the best thing to do in those situations is to stay positive and move forward. No matter what obstacles stand in their way, I am sure that the nation of Japan will prevail and overcome this tragedy.
Tragedies happen Teaching us to be grateful And how to stay strong
My haiku is basically saying that everything happens for a reason. What happened in Japan was truly devastating, and although the tragedies that occurred there was horrific, Japan will come out of this stronger than before and it will allow the Japanese to be more grateful for what they have.

Birth of a new life
This haiku is about a new life after the tragedy in Japan. I chose the line, "birth of a new life" because it relates to the birth of my daughter.
