A good write with a message about insanity acts of terror. We will never understand. The newpapers need not make a hurrah hurray of things. Let the families heal. Give them peace. Let the people in power find the cause and the culprits . No need to sensationalize the evil doers. Their time for punishment will come soon.
Excellent write in this pantun.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

This is a very powerful poem. It's hard to write about sunshine and butterflies when our hearts our broken over a senseless tragedy. I like your thoughts on the media coverage as well. This is a new form to me, I might have to try it sometime. Well done! Brian

Till mankind learns this world is Hell, a place many wish not to be, then will mankind begin to think differently about it and overcome it. Till then, this world is for our soul to seek and learn a truth found in Words. Words who's meaning free ones soul, not bind it to this world we are to overcome, instead of becoming one with it. Very nice and keep writing.

A great poem very well written.
I had never hear about the pantum and abab rhymes.
You don't have happiness to share but you transform your feelings and thoughts in a great piece of art.
A beautiful homage to a tragedy.
Very nice artwork.

pantun, a new form for me
strong use of rhyme
good alliteration in bloodstained banner
and in bruised and battered
you make such a significant point - poetry can't be forced - no matter what a prompt says, if it's a tragic day and you're not feeling happy, happy is not what your heart will write

The art work is very interesting.

The words are very interesting.

We need to be aware of violence

The following words are very interesting.

"Shelter our children's precious eyes,
Clouds of smoke shroud their innocence.
Dust settles amidst mother's cries,
Let justice demand recompense"

This worked out really well, and love the words, I wouldn't know where to start on something like this, and the artworks is just perfect......
