I thought it would be a fun comparison....and interesting information. Thank you for reading
Kamikaze, meaning "divine wind" in Japanese, refers to Japanese military aviators in World War II who flew suicide missions by crashing explosive-laden aircraft into Allied warships to destroy them more effectively than conventional attacks. The tactic was named after a historical typhoon that devastated Mongol fleets and was later revived as nationalist propaganda. While the term is now used generically for any suicide attack, the kamikaze campaign itself was a desperate measure due to Japan's lack of experienced pilots and modern aircraft, causing significant but ultimately marginal gains for Japan in the Pacific war.

Great title and lovely Haiku, Kelli. The explanation also gave it some depth
What a perfect description and a history lesson as well.
I love Billy Talent - beautiful and clever haiku - I can't recall reading anything by you that wasn't of the highest standard possible. This is another one. And love the background information.
This is really creative. Well done Kelli 😄
