To Heaven To Hell Poem by john tiong chunghoo
the teenager asks mom
after her first bible lesson:
'Mom, if god knows all
things why should he
bother testing us
or even adam?
he knows he would fall'
Mom caught at
a loss for words
answers: 'Everyone
asks the same question
about God. He knows
everything and it is
only through him
that we can be saved.'
The teenager shoots
back: 'I think he loves
watching theatreat us
acting out his scripts..
to heaven.. to hell.'
'Well, that may be
very true. But he wants
us to all go heaven, '
Mom says.
The child fights back:
'It is not a question
of what he wants. It is
what we want but
he has arranged for
all of that.'
Mom at a loss
for words says:
'Now, make sure you
act out yours with class
and before i throw you
into hell, get into the car.'

Annual Selection Our planet will survive with haiku ecology
Selections and comments by Isamu Hashimoto
In the year of , I dared not select honorable prizes as usual. My selections of over daily haiku are based on transient whims. With some brief comments (which sometimes are rather self-centered), and others that are somewhat more extensive, I decided to leave the final judgment to the sensible Mainichi haiku readers.
Jan. 2,
gold-red sun
in the mist
New Year
— Heike Gewi (Aden-Crater, Yemen)
Comment: The author thankfully saw the golden New Year through the mist.
Jan. 3,
glorious dawn
cutting a passage
through the black forest
— Keith A. Simmonds (Tunapuna, Trinidad & Tobago)
Comment: God's glorious hand invites through the black forest in the New Year morning.
Jan. 4,
mountain chapel—
bells ring jumping
downstream
— Maria Santomauro (Commack, NY, USA)
Comment: It is like having synesthesia … where things unseen can be seen. The mountain chapel is so steadily placed in this haiku that we can see love and mercy jumping down to the people at the foot of the mountain.
Jan. 5,
the face
follows the knife
in the pumpkin
— jerry ball (Walnut Creek, CA, USA)
Comment: I can see Jerry's joyful face on the blade of the knife.
