This is such a sad statement about children who are not found. The picture is heartbreaking. The author's notes are extremely helpful, both in regard to the subject matter and the poetic format employed. Evi

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It is horrible to think about this. It is also important to regularly update those posters. Why would God allow such things to happen? Even though we are not supposed to question God, I just don't understand how anyone could harm or abduct someone, especially children. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is a great example of a tragic event that so often ends badly. We should all be ashamed of living in such a world. You have penned it with skill and understanding. Much enjoyed, especially the satori. Kate xx PS in the notes I think you mean abducted.

Comment from royowen
I think there's lots of cold cases where there are missing people that have never been found, in my home state there are at least five children that went missing several years ago, and still remains a mystery, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Gypsy,
such a visual impact and then to have the appropriate words to back it up in such a haunting way within this format... yes, you are the Queen of short form... hmmmm, and a true wordsmith within your craft.
Yes, these words just don't stop after the read. There is an echo that follows you and sits in the pit of one's stomach.
Powerful and hard-hitting presentation!
With our thoughts we create...
indelible memories.
Kind regards,
James.

You always choose just the write words to paint an emotional picture! The "sun bleached poster" erases the child's face just like the child's existence fades out of the police memories as it becomes a "cold case." But the parents' grief never ends.

Comment from karenina
So impactful! I see these "missing" posters now and then...torn, faded, half blowing in the wind...
Someone's child is gone... Someone's prayer has gone unanswered.
Breaks my heart

Comment from kahpot
So sad, So true, far too many of our children seem to have just fallen through the cracks, which leaves far too many predators still out there, very well written, an excellent (sad) haiku****kahpot
