I guess this tragedy shocked the entire world, not just those of us who live here in the states. Lost a dear friend, college debate partner, in that attack. His wife and son will never recover from the loss. Excellent senryu and great entry for the contest. Good luck, Highlander! Love, Carolyn

Simply said, but terribly terribly filled with tragedy...other words are not needed to make your point. Well thought out poem, James.
