Dear Lisa:
A very poignant poem. Full of sadness for those left to witness, those left bereft with no answers.
Fears of the unknown; No longer matter now-
Calculus exams will remain blank-
There will be more tears than excitement-
at the graduation ceremonies this year,
as the gun shots echo through their ears
A beautifully written stanza of waste and loss.
hugs,
Kathy

There are just no words to describe the grief and anger that such an act provokes, Lisa...senseless? Certainly to us, but what was his true motivation? I wonder if we will ever know that answer or if it actually matters? How come nobody ever reached out and touched him; made him understand, made him care? Another lost soul, knowing not the value of his own life, or of the life of others. In a rage venting his frustrations by destroying so many young and promising souls...I cannot even begin to wrap my thoughts around such a notion. This is is an excellent poem, Lisa; perfectly executed (lawd, I didn't really say that did I?)with the style and grace only you can bring to the page.
Take care,
Sherry |

Lisa,
Such a sad but needed write. A horrible tragedy, Lisa. What is this world coming too? When a parent sends their child to school they believe it to be a safe haven for learning. No more. The victims and their families are in my prayers.
Many blessings,
~Linda |
