As you can see, I am still trying to catch up from my Alaska trip. It was good to be away from much of the political turmoil. I admired your social commentary in this tiny haikuI and think we could use many flocks of doves--here's to peace! _Joan

We could use a few white doves flying over the White House these days. Having olive branches in their beaks couldn't hurt either.
Nice way of turning your haiku weekly challenge on birds into a political statement.
Let's hope a few fly over Ryongsong Residence, also known as Residence No. 55, and known by locals as Central Luxury Mansion, or the presidential palace in North Korea and the main residence of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Hey, it couldn't hurt, right?

This work has reached the exceptional level

This Haiku needs to be seen and read again and again by
all those who struggle to understand what is truly evil and
what is good. MariVal, thank you for this word of hope when
so many of us feel very disillusioned by the dove who flies over
a house that could easily shoot it down. -Bill

A very well-written haiku. At this stage the White House needs more than one dove to fly over that will bring ultimate peace.

Cheers, Gypsy;
-truly the White House needs with your poem suggests is that we need peace in the White House.
-Very good to grammatically connected lines followed by a satori that expresses a supportive situation to the conceptual theme and also gives the poem that aha moment and then alliteration form of "peace prayer".
-A very good addition to the haiku booklet that should serve as a goods representation of haiku's.
-Thanks for sharing and take care and have a good one my friend.
Alex

The way things look at the moment,
we do need some prayers for the White House.
WhatI fail to understand is why Americans let
their beautiful country come to this mess.
One can't help but wonder: what next, a civil war?

Lovely thought - would that it came true. I think many people on all sides wish they could throw a blanket of clam and peace over our capital. Love how you tied nature into this political poem.

Btw, did you mean to write "flys" instead of "flies"?

    Thank you for bringing that error to my attention. I meant flies. Thank you for the review and kind words my friend.

Hi Gypsy;

as always, your haiku is well structured.

A nit: the plural of fly is 'flies.' (I looked it up to make sure.)

I think doves are afraid to fly over the White House. Too much bad karma.

Hi Gypsy
This is such an apt read for me, only yesterday I had two doves at my feet as I sat at a park bench and I was thinking of their significance as birds of peace, especially of late as the World is acting a little crazy.....beautiful words....as usual...loved this.
