Resolution #1 in Effect

It is 6 days into the new year, and I have kept at least 1 of my resolutions (still working on #2). I have been writing. Granted, not seriously, but it's something.

This was a challenge given to me by a friend who, obviously, wasn't expecting me to actually do it. He jokingly challenged me to write a haiku of all one syllable words on the fall of the USSR.

Well, I'm up for a challenge :)

Enjoy, but keep in mind that this is not a serious try at traditional Japanese poetry. Can anyone find the symbolism?

The Fall of the USSR
Built walls of tense fear,
Made by ice and gun, don’t stand;
Felled by cosh and blade.

I have a thought for you to keep you motivated to write I was just looking into a book by Sark "Make your creative dreams real" I don't know if it is any good but I want to read it.
