- Haiku X 13- Boston Bombs -

One lovely ballerina
                                            The bombings slammed
                                                No more dancing

I'm sure they think it's harmless, but now-a-days everything's about having fun but they're taking it too far.

Hit right to the core, Anne-Lise. I love your poetry. You are truly gifted at gripping the reader. A true tearjerker this is...something we can relate to emotionally what with the Boston bombing...etc... Always, Laura

I really enjoyed this haiku, seeing as there are so many at my school already making fun of it. I can't understand how they could be so heartless and it was nice to see that someone else felt differently :)
