Печально схилили голівки.
Проминуло літечко любе —

Вечірнє казково-зоряне небо,
Проникливий снів сюрчків..."(Вероніка Кремінна)

Щодня і в дощ, і в спеку

Бо йде український солдат
Вражині буде скрутно!.."(Єфросинія Чубінська)

Лопотять листочки
І ростуть грибочки,
Як дощі й тумани.
На всіх калюж стане!"(Галина Мирослава)

An ‘elf’ military medic was travelling.

Kurama (Japan). «Poets in Bilohorivka» — a poem about the russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022
"‘Elves’ military was more cautious.
In declaring victory in Bilohorivka.
Given that control over towns and villages.
Has proved tenuous in the past.
But while only a small village.
It would be a potent signal that.

Of the Luhansk region..."(Kurama)
"Одна у всьому світі ти, одна,
Така розкішна і струнка, як вишня!
Не личить тобі, Дівчино, війна,
Що з берегів кривавим морем вийшла.
Не личить тобі, рідна, цей полон,
Цей зашморг, що вдягли тобі на шию.
Забрали спокій, вкрали мирний сон
І розлили отруту, мов ті змії..."(Наталія Кузьмічова)

В нас немає більше мами – «братушки» зганьбили.
І бабусі в нас немає – «братушки» полонили.
Міста нашого немає – «братушки» розбомбили.
Хати нашої немає – «братушки» розбили.
Саду нашого немає – «братушки» спалили.
Та над нами зійде сонце,
Небо розвидніє,
Бо є кому боронити,
Навіть в страшній днині..."(Наталка Морозенко)

A captured ‘orcs’ T72 tank.

As ‘orcs’ government publicly terms.
It “has no goals.
It only has a path”..."(Kurama)

In the village of Kreshchenivka.
