Barbara c Kelch 1952 (Glens Falls, N.Y.)

Nuclear explosions
Time standing still

About this poem

I wrote this Hyku some many years ago. Shocking then, as it is now, it is difficult to know or immagine, that we all live under the same threat today. I dont want to ever immagine life without a future, for anyone! Don't let it happen! Never!
