(ki-o-kaete oriori-naku-ya hōshizemi)
（薫風士）
changing trees to stay at,
crying occasionally;
Meimuna opalifera
(Lovee)
(Note)
As to the pronunciation of「き」(ki), there are many homonyms such as「樹」(tree),「機」(opportunity),「器」(vessel),「期」(time),「季」(season),「気」(feeling), etc.
Therefore, I would be pleased if you consider the above haiku as a pun, taking the Meimuna opalifera as a metaphor.

広島のこの原爆慰霊碑の「過ちは繰返しませんから」の主語は、「私たち」でしょうから、世界の政治経済、文化スポーツ、宗教など、各界の指導者は一度は広島を訪ねて、この慰霊碑に祈りを捧げ、平和の誓いをして欲しいものです。
この慰霊碑は、ある意味で一種の踏み絵になるのではないでしょうか？

7月13日(日)に、万博会場の広場でブルーインパルスの曲芸飛行を見て、吟行句(まんぽ俳句)を作り、万博紹介の「写真俳句」を23句掲載しました。
写真に俳句を書込んでいますので、写真をタップ拡大して最後までご覧頂き、慰みや何らかの参考にして頂ければ幸いです。
この３枚の写真は、夢洲駅の改札を出て万博会場の東ゲ－ト前広場を目指す人波などです。
12時入場の予約で、11時45分頃に夢洲駅の改札出口から万博会場へのエスカレーターに乗りましたが、駅舎を出ると、長蛇の列が何列あるか分かりませんが、行きつ止まりつ、渦のように移動し、入場出来たのは午後１時過ぎでした。
猛暑にも拘わらず、熱中症にならずに約１時間半の渦のような行列を凌ぎ入場して、ブルーインパルスの曲芸飛行を見ることが出来たのは、事前に飲み物(ポカリスエット等)と日傘、携帯用の椅子を準備して活用したからです。

春雨や暮なんとしてけふも有り
(harusame-ya kurenantosite kyo-mo-ari)
（蕪村 Buson）
spring rain_
night is coming,
I’m still alive today.
(Lovee)
(Note)
In the above translation, I have complemeted the words "I'm still alive", assuming that Buson omitted the subject of “けふも有り” (kyo-mo-ari) in this haiku.
Buson probably adopted the hiragana "けふ”, instead of the Chinese character "今日", so that readers would not misunderstand the meaning of this haiku.
It is not unusual that the subject or object of a verb is omitted in a Japanese haiku as shown in the following sites:
“俳句 365 haiku (60) 《Buson「白梅」》”

しら梅に明くる夜ばかりとなりにけり
(shiraume-ni akuru-yo-bakari-to nari-nikeri)
(蕪村 Buson)
(Translation A)
the night dawning for
white plum-blossoms_
that's all what remain to me
(Translation B)
the night dawning for
white plum-blossoms_
that's all around me
(Lovee)
This haiku is a farewell poem by Buson, and various translation is possible, depending on what you supplement for the subject that Buson omitted in this original haiku.
(Note)
The following translation by the world-famous late Stephen L. Addiss in “The Art of Haiku” is a translation based on his interpretation:
among white plum blossoms
what remain is the night
about to break into dawn
It seems that he did not understand the Japanese syntax of this haiku well.
