Harmony thank you!
Comment from Aussie
The sepia picture shows the face of desperation in the present conflict. Ukrainians are Christian people jumped on by a would-be Hitler in the making. We can only imagine what they are going through, strong resilient people. Proud of their heritage. Pray for Ukraine. K xx

K Spot on! Pray upon bended knee for Ukraine - Pray that Putin will come to his senses and stop before this gets out of control and all of Europe gets overrun.
Comment from Frances Jean
You have conveyed your feelings well both in your poem and your authors notes. The situation in Ukraine is dire and the people are suffering through this one man's greed and political aspirations. It's tragic. Great rhyming. All the best in the competition Franky

How right you are, in your author's comments. Statistics don't have pulses. Nor do they wail in grief, nor stand courageously and defiantly.
Putin is a madman intent on waging war against Ukraine for no reason other than a power grab. He's got a nuke trigger finger and we're all letting him bully us...for now. Love your poem. Resist indeed!

I like this mono-rhyme poem that succinctly describes the war in Ukraine and Putin's reasoning, if you can call it that.
Good luck in the contest

I agree wholeheartedly with your plea to the Ukrainian people presented in poetry. It is hard for me to even think about the terrible circumstances they are having to endure.

Not looking too good over there ... but we still hope and pray for Ukraine to sustain long enough for something to break in Russia.

how true
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
They are fighting so hard to save their country, Putin is a disgrace to the Human world. I wish we onlookers could do more than just using sanctions to stop him, I'd like to see our soldiers go in and stop it. But, Putin knows that won't happen, not while his finger is poised to press THE button and wipe us all out.
You have used your 25 syllables well in this contest entry, it says it all succinctly. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

Sandra, yes I could not agree more with you were are shadow boxing at the expense of the Ukrainian people and I am so angry ... our leaders used to be about freedom and democracy for the world. Now it is just about greed and lining pockets with gold.

That's right. Let's hope things change for the better, soon. xx

I can only imagine how scared needy the Ukrainians are. Russian bombed a maternity hospital the other day! I thank God the U.S. is helping SO much! These people are braver than Putin expected, I think. You've made good use of your 25 syllables in this timely piece.
