In life many questions go unanswered, life can be both happy and sad, to lose someone close is very sad, to lose to an act of violence we always question why. You have expressed your feelings very well in these three senryu's.

Strong writing for all three Senyru Sandra. Anger is part of the grieving process, but so hard to get through. I am sorry for your loss too! Thank God for poetry Sandra. love Karin 10

It's quite painful to lose a person whom we are close to, as they are our support, our pillar and strength. It's always the good who go early, which is a life's mystery. It will be tough, but life goes on, as decided by the One Above.

Yes, sandra; even after being aware of human mortality, death of a near or dear one leaves all of us shattered. I think; it still is the cruelest act on surviving ones. Very well written, keep it up!

This is an excellent senryu triplet, Sandra, perfect in syllable count in each poem, and very well expressed as well. Though not the most pleasant of subjects, you wrote three very impressive senryu poems. Carl.
