Death-filled actions without heart
The day the world found out


Dedicated to all of the victims

Meaningful tribute here. But it is a senryu since it is not about nature. Evokes the terrible reality well. Peace & Love Mathew Anish

Hi Matthew, I am backtracking because I am not sure that replies were available in 2012. This is a late thank you, but I appreciate that you notified me that my poem was a senryu. Hope all is well with you. - Gail
