- I've been writing war haiku
- malbona viro
mangxigas vian filon
al sovagxa best'
(a bad man; feeds your son; to a savage beast)
leono gapas
en busxon ulo metas
jes! vian kapon
(a lion gapes; into its mouth a fellow puts; yes! your head)
sovagxa besto
ulo multfoje batas
liberigas gxin
(a savage beast; a fellow repeatedly beats it; let's it go)
