Summer pain (Senyru)

Dear Michael,

Somehow pain inflicted upon children hurts deepest, as we so want them to at least be free of all the bad stuff when they are most vulnerable. Alas, fate is does not discriminate in age!

Well chosen format, the fewer words, the deeper the impact.

I appreciate you tackling newspaper topics this way, makes us stop and think a while longer.

Well done,

(((hugs))) xx Ingrid

Hello Michael

Your knack for a chilling senryu is incredible. This - in tone at least - very much reminds me of your winning cancer senryu from a few weeks back. A devastating few lines of poetry. Well done.

All the very best,
Ben

Michael, that's so sad but well written.

Nice job!
