No. 90 - Chaos
Winter days pass
Cold, rain and snow.
Turn up the gas
To feel its glow.
Drink cups of tea,
Try not to see
The world's chaos.
No. 91 - Wars
Wars still rage on,
No end in sight.
No one has won.
Death in the night,
Eats at the soul.
No one is whole,
Lost and alone
No. 92 - Peace
Peace is our goal,
Power still reigns.
Flags up the pole,
Flap in the rains.
The leaders lied,
Some tears are cried.
We long for peace.

**If you want to write a ha'sonnet here's how it's done:
The poem has 7 lines.
Each line has 4 syllables.
The rhyme scheme is:
Line 1 a
Line 2 b
Line 3 a
Line 4 b
Line 5 c
Line 6 c
Line 7 d
It looks deceptively easy but it is not! Writers of haiku may like the challenge. As you can see I have written 92 of them since discovering the form last year. A big thank you to Stephen Buchanan for creating it.**
