I watched his speech. I wept. Tonight I listened to the sole Nevalde Pediatrician speak of waiting at the ER for wounded...and having the first two murdered children brought in. Decapitated from the force of the weapon used. I could not catch my breath!

    Yes, I didn't know to what extent were the wounds. I haven't been able to watch details...it's so sad and scary. My grandson starts preschool in August.

    Karenina, I appreciate your kind review and helpfull feedback. Hugs!

Gypsy, This is a very neat and interesting Modern Senyru you have penned about the Uvalde incident. You used very good descriptive words and very good imagery with the picture of the green shoes with the hear on it. That was so sad! Thanks for sharing! love and blessings, Teri

A good poem- good presentation- heart felt description and summary of events of the day of the school shooting- calm to the storm- girls shoes give a personal touch- sad- a grossly mishandled/ mismanaged tragedy by those in charge- credit where credits due- good poem

    Police didn't go in for 45 minutes while children inside were calling 911

    Yes..my observation too. Grossly mishandled, and untrained first response teams initially.

There is so much being written about the recent school shooting. Your poem is a beautiful tribute to all those who lost their lives. I will never understand why someone gets the notion to just go kill a bunch of innocent people. This world has changed so much in my 76 years here on earth. This is a lovely poem.

    I can't understand what kind of human would kill 19 beautiful innocent children...some kind of demon.

    Thank you very much for your time and kind review. Hugs.

I was so glad that someone famous from Uvalde could speak to Congress. He did a great job to express our outrage that they have still done nothing to protect our school children!!

    It's crazy. How many more children and adults have to die before the pass some laws? We are the worse country when it comes to gun violence.

    Helen, thank you very much for your time and kind review. Hugs.

You have conversed with my heart through your poem. Those green shoes will forever be symbolic. The tragedy at Uvalde was horrific, as is the war in Ukraine which you have introduced with the flag. You set the scene: What should be peaceful breaks into a storm of death.

A poem that shouldn't be needed. It points vividly to the sudden interruption of peace with a surge of violence. It is direct and contrasting without graphic detail.

Thanks for an appropriate read. I can't say good with the subject matter. Peace.
