Sing

A nice tribute to those in crisis, shows where your heart lies. In compassion. But to be pernickety I thought Senyrus were meant to be satirical.

your first, wow, you learn quick, this is wonderful, such imagery

lovely senryu, my friend - I'm never sure if I'm writing senryu or tanka correctly or not, but I love yours

Nice one.I never do a senryu...will try one.-kashinath

What a sad situation you have described. I think we should all remember the Haitians in our prayers. Thank you for your kind words. Fine senryu Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish !

my prayers go out to them as well, and hoping that more people get involved in helping in Haiti--thanks for sharing, Andrea :)

It was terrible down there, they need a lot of help and prayer...good write..thanks on High Sheriff, no i don't have a million tales like this, but I do have more than a few..Danny

Super Senyru to the people of Haiti Andrea, nicely said >> James

Yes, and let us all pray with them and for them.

Very inspirational poem...We need to pray for them...Marty

A great first Senryu! We pray with them and hope that relief is coming from many directions. Thanks for sharing.

very good, the magnitude of such a disaster befalling people who are allready so poor is typical of natures indifference.

Hi Andrea, The sad pictures from Haiti break the heart. your verse is so real. thanks for reading my sonnet 'the gift' and yes ,I have entered it. ..Margaret

Words from your heart, Andrea! We watch and we wish we could do all within our means and power to help! Thank you for reading and commenting on my latest poem! Always, appreciated, Andrea! Peace and love, Audrey

I have THREE words for you...God bless you. Milt

And may God help their loved ones left behind. It was a real tragedy. Your senryu is very touching. We must all keep them in our prayers, too. Andrea, this heartfelt poem is very touching. Lovingly, Dane Ann

This is beautiful. We have missionaries from our church that are over there. They run an orphanage. Someone got a call from them and they said that they are all fine then the line went dead. Thank you for commenting on my poem about Big Daddy. I believe that our spirit can communicate somehow. I can feel at times the spirit when I read a poem and then when someone comments on my work. It is as if they are here. I will have to soup mail you about something that happened years ago. Sara

Well observed Andrea.Rgds Brian & thanks for your welcome comments

God bless the people of Haiti and help them in their efforts to rebuild. I'm proud that the US is providing some aid, but it certainly will not be enough. Powerful senryu, Andrea, with an image that is not only timely but also heartwrenching. Love, Carolyn
