"We Shall Overcome."
 
He resolves,
“We shall overcome;”
happier dreams

happier dreams;
life will hand lessons
on the way

On the way,
they will write story;
world awaits

World awaits;
but for the moment
let them sleep..

Delicious; 
ah, served with love 
food for thought..

    I like the haiku pattern and hopeful note of the first set ~

    The second one is nice but I didn't use it (I found it a little bit chilling)~

    Your first set is thoughtful and thought provoking. The second, food for thought indeed.

    I could not find happiness in picture #1 - I am so glad that you showed it to me. Picture #2 speaks for itself, yes. Lovely Haiku, thank you.

    The picture gives a moment. Your poems are thoughts about the moment. Try for poems that give us the moment.
