I feel pain and anguish throughout the poem. Your words touched my soul. We all lose people we love, and you expressed the feeling perfectly. Making it very relatable. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is very appropriate in honor of the Ukrainian people and the nation itself. The syllables were correct in the three lines and flow well, truthfully expressing concern and grief for such sorrows these people have endured: so much, like oceans of grief, yet able to be contained in the heart. Best wishes in the contest.

Welcome. Yes, ir has gone on long enough. I understand that some of the funds send from the USA, unsure of where they went.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
We must never stop remembering the evils being perpetrated in Ukraine. And this senryu skilfully uses a powerful image of "oceans of grief" to capture the atrocities of war in which so much innocence is lost now and for generations to come. Well done and good luck! Debbie

This is good I still have been able to find out what the difference is between a haiku and a senryu. Which ever this is and why it is that thing it is a good one of it. If that makes sense. I have a confused mind.

Comment from Daylily
It is not easy to learn about the terrible grief and destruction the Ukraine people continue to suffer, especially because they are the innocent party of the massive and ongoing aggression instigated by Russia. You have brought emotional attention to this injustice with your excellent posting. Best wishes!

An excellent entry for the Senryu you writing prompt. This is a very emotionally-charged, strong poem. The artwork is fitting and adds to the sad subject matter. Nicely done.

An outstanding entry deserving of attention in this contest. I recommend upgrading the font to something more evocative. Not cursive, but something easily readable and with more font weight. Best of luck!

You got the syllable count right, and your poem was touching. I liked the picture of the eye crying blood. It really added to the feel of the poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
