Darkness (Senryu) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Nature sharing in the sorrow of human beings...Lovely expressions.

This senryu is a sad tribute to earthquake victims. It reminded me the earthquake of Oct.8,2005.

Your words are so true for so many people today. Wonderful read

A true senryu, true to its purpose. Wonderful and touching.

everything is said in these three lines..you can express a strong emotion in few words like no one else. thanks for sharing, Sandra. Yelena M.

A TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO THE QUAKE VICTIMS! 10! -Raj

of course, they too mourn....everyone...everything mourns! !

nature too mourns... Mamta

The things of darkness always more unpalatable than those of the light. I like how even the stars must run away, at the hideous sights and sounds.

Your powerful words could equally apply to the darkness (like night) described by those who suffered death and homelessness in last February's wild fires in Victoria. It would seem that nature's wrath can be felt in a myriad of guises all over the planet. Excellent poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
