Charleston

Hate walked into
the oldest black church and left
devastation there.

Hi, Jim, a very currant haiku. It's all over the news. So glad they got him off the street before he could kill anyone else. So tragic, all those precious lives lost. Taken home too soon. ~~Darlene

One of the victims was a poet who occasionally came to our open mike.

Jim, this is a great haiku reflecting the tragic and unfortunately true reality we face that results from hatred! Warmest regards. Pandita

Thank you. They caught the guy. He was from the county across the river from where I live.
