You touched the pinnacle of life in this well-written emotional poem. Your artwork choice goes well with your thoughts. Good use of alliteration of t letters and sounds. Best wishes and good luck in the contest.

What a sad senryu. It follows the required 5-7-5 syllable format, and it is clearly about emotions, as the prompt requires. I feel it's very nicely written! And I don't usually care for nonrhymed poetry!

This is hard to do, I know. A deeply emotional senryu for the contest. The cold finality is hard to bear. Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for upcoming contest.

Beautiful and sad. Your heart will treasure the person, presumably your husband, forever. One cannot see this picture and then read the poem without choking up.
RIP mighty warrior.

    Thanks for your review. Pic has been changed as the poem was not in particular about passed servicemen. No disrespect meant. Hope the poem still leaves you with the same feelings.

Senryu is a form to portray human emotion, so your topic is highly suitable, combining the ingredients of love, separation through death, and (with the addition of the photo) possibly sacrifice and patriotism. (I don't live in America, but I assume the flag means he was a serviceman.)

    Thanks for the review. I have changed the picture, I am not American either and my thoughts for this piece were not along the lines of passed servicemen

    Gee... now that photo looks like a vampire kiss. I must have an overactive imagination.

Hello :)
I enjoyed reading your senryu.
It is in perfect syllable count and presented well.
A heartbreaking theme with perfect ending line.
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra

This was very powerful. Brought tears to my eyes. One last good bye to the brave soldier who died fighting for our country.

Terrific imagery, visuals and artistic presentation.

Good luck in the contest.
