Radio Telegraphy
Finnish Radio Officers celebrated yesterday; our Union is 90 years old. Telegraphy is no more used commercially. I met many retired Radio Officers; returned from Helsinki with an old friend of mine. In the train's cafe he had one beer and I a small bottle of red wine.

Some 98 years ago Titanic met a small iceberg; she sunk 15th April 1912 at 02:20 in the morning (-night))There was a sudden need for the lifeboats...

This is very good, rich in the lore of the sea and economical in expression. I would drop "a" in line 3.
Bill: L3 without a is a neat suggestion,
I had at first something like "one of the icebergs ... then just "a" was left, not any specific, but also an idea to add "s": icebergs ...
OK, took it away; saving world text economy!
well done
much love

A depressive thought that climate will change. I can feel the change while reading your ku. It has got a message for me
Have a nice Sunday

Good news...and good haiku, Tikkis...wish you a warm winter :)
my friend Rudi, makes me want to add, climate will keep changing...but there are things that don't change...like friendship :)
wishes,

Nice.
Thanks for your kind comments.
Found following from Wallace Stevens:
The sea is a form of ridicule.
The iceberg settings satirize
The demon that cannot be himself,
That tours to shift the shifting scene.
(From the poem The Man with the Blue Guitar)
