A REAL GREAT READ. I can relate a bit on tragedy. I, myself am an adoptee. My mother left me an orphan 2 times .I do feel for the tragedy upon all the children left with no parents. I am sure every tragedy does have a blessing..Mine is my adopted parents...This is all I will read today .Had fun ...good night...thanks for reading my poetry..IRMA

a fine example of seeing the silver lining in the clouds--happy to read about this :) thanks for sharing, Andrea :)

So sad yet so true. It seems governments do everything in their power to hinder rather than help..and they ask us to trust them! The red tape keeping the kids in Haiti was senseless and avoidable. Thank God for the happy ending and thank you for a great poem. Mac

Dear Andrea, great sentiments excellent Senryu YOUR Laureate Talent Shines ALWAYS YOUR Liege...HG

I hope many of the orphaned children find homes Andrea, nice Senyru >> James

Unfortunately it takes a tragedy of such magnitude to teach us compassion and our purpose here on earth - to love and help one-another. Great Senryu, Andrea. love, lainie

I say from the poetry I am reading this morning it seems it was an inspiring weekend for all. Thank you for sharing your wonderful poetry with us Andrea. Love, Carol

Hi Andrea, Nicely penned Senryu! Thank you for reading and commenting "Atacama". To answer your question: I have lived and worked in Chile for a certain time first in Antofagasta in the North and in the 90ties in Osorno in the South. I finished a poetry book with love poems in English, Spanish and German and hope to get it printed some day. Kind regards, Gert

Andrea, This is so uplifting and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your words. Love to you. Dane Ann
