Notes About The Poem

''CHILDREN'S SOULS.  MY PHOTO, ©   

May be an image of rose and nature

Death of Sleeping Angels

Children fell asleep 

Heavenly the dreams they had-- 


In death's land awoke!

Last Thursday, at a daycare center in northeastern Thailand, a former police officer killed thirty-seven people of whom twenty-five were young children, some as young as two years of age. 
I dedicate this Senryu to their memory!

Very sad, indeed, my friend, Bill. Who can ever console the parents? Yes, prayers for everyone are needed. God bless us all!

Unspeakably tragic. This world in ruin and decay. Prayers lifted for sanity, healing, God's Return. :o/

You're right dear friend. A catastrophe of this magnitude and scope is not ordinary, and the upheaval in the world is taking a shocking new turn. A mentally ill monster was responsible for the deaths of 25 children.
