Dr Mehta, Interesting form of poetry you got here. I cried when I saw the devastating tsunami. And the way you describe their resiliency and fortitude is awesome. Until now when I remember the never ending TV clips how the houses were like playhouses that were swept by the strong current, I feel for the families who lost their love ones and their memories. You seem to always have kind words for my poetry. I know I do have a lot to learn and thank you one more time. Dalila

The Japanese truly are a resilient culture, Dr. Ram. I didn't know they had tsunami sensors. Surely, these helped many survive the devastation. Excellent entry for Deb's contest -- remarkable use of form as well. Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
