A mountain of shoes,
Tower the valley of clothes:
Holocaust landscape.

It makes me sick to think I'm part of the breed that did this: humans.

Another number one victory Raul I am sure ..this is spectacular as it states all in a few lines... my entry is Mayhem in May and of course I used the 16 lines allowed to write about such a tragic moment in History..good luck with this winner already crowned.. luv.. Linda-Marie..

I went to that place Auschwitz,I even have a poem about it. .I was sixteen yrs old when I visited,there is an eerie feeling of death there,the concentration camps,the gas chambers,the prisöners clothes,the glasses,the I've seen it all. .and now reading this intensive senryu I'm having goose pimples once more. .touching Raul. .Charma.
