Congratulations on the win. Well deserved. It certainly is fitting with what is happening with gun control and what is not happening towards the control of the issue on this subject. Look at the shooting in Virginia by a six year old. Too many points to ignore here. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent Poem- definitely an accurate assessment of the state of our nation! I fear that cancel culture could easily escalate to mean something even more destructive to citizens- very well written -

Great social commentary and the constant mass shootings still won't make Congress take action because they are bribed by the NRA which in turn is heavily supported by Russia. Russian operatives are known to go to NRA conventions. Well said and congratulations on the win!


Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Visually beautiful with the red-white-and-blue motif. Very striking. Such an important observation you've made in this short Senru. Very well done, Sandra.

Congratulations on you win. You certainly deserve it for these powerful and truthful words with ever mass killing, prayers offered but no acton to reduce gun violence.
Best wishes
Mary

I found the author's words strong and powerful. The first two lines
flow and connect well. The last line says it all! This poem, for me,
clearly states the ways things are! It is heartfelt and sad. The artwork
is perfect and goes well with the theme and words of this poem.
Happy Thanksgiving!.....Maria

very well done. Could not agree more. Everytime I hear a member of congresss offer useless thoughts and prayers I think of a phrase from one of my own poems

"Politicians offer
useless thoughts and prayers
the gun ghosts don't care
they are dead."

I have written lots of gun poems some on my blog. I'd love to feature this little poem as well in my next update. check it out Https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com

You certainly hit the nail on the head with this one, Author.
Someone, a fellow Fanstorian, put in their notes yesterday under a poem, that the Bible essentially says that a club isn't responsible for what a person does with it, so why punish the club? Mind you this person doesn't live in the United States.
It did explain the entire Republican point of view though. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people!" So let them have their AK-47s I guess. I figure that when a disgruntled 15-year-old to a session of congress with his AK-47, then something MIGHT finally get done.
Susan :)

    I guess that will depend on which Congressperson is killed. We are such a divided crazy nation. It's scary that nowhere is sacred or safe. Thanks for your review.

This senryu, Just Another Day, has the proper formatting and notes that mass killings in America have become a an SSDD across the nation.
same shit, different day

Excellent entry for the Senryu writing prompt contest.

I like your presentation. These days is hard to pass any laws.

Good syllables count and connection between lines. Weaver.

Good luck in the contest.
