In times of famine
Mind, body and soul are locked
Coated in hunger
Written for The Haiku Challenge 2012 - Day 18 – February 18th – Theme or Word: Famine
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I like coated in hunger ~ Nice one ~
Great closing line!
You're right. It is hard to be anything else but locked in hunger when one experiences famine.
Very strange choice of words 'coated in hunger', but maybe I do not understand it very well, because English isn't my maiden language.
As I see the other comments ... I think it's something normal to say 'coated in hunger'.
Very nice haiku, strong words.
You have very nicely painted the theme for this challenge.
Very true!...Nothing appears in mind rather than hunger :'(
The last line--a powerful one--makes me think of skin. How can you run away from your own skin? How can you run from hunger?
