Crisis in Syria, Senryu poetry

Hey Ruby, I know a kindred soul when I see one. I hope that one day we will meet and talk, and exchange ideas, and more together and then some more. Thank for being a voice.

Such a sad truth expressed so simply and so well, thank you so much for raising awareness

I was unaware of this situation which is just heart breaking in this day and age

Sorry I'm late. But these were spectacular today. My haiku are elsewhere

"War torn Asia" What a wonderful expression to describe Asian problem.

I loved your humanitarian approach.

This is so sad. I could feel the emotion in each word as I read. I am embarrassed to admit this, but this was the first I have heard about this. I stopped watching the news years ago, because it always made me too emotional. Thank you for opening my eyes to this tragedy. I am going to make it a point to start paying attention to what is going on in the world around me. I voted up!

Well done on a very tragic subject to make others aware of the pain

This is an excellent Palm about a very tragic subject. You are really becoming an outstanding poet and I look forward to reading some more hubs as you post them.

I applaud you, Ruby, for expanding your poetic horizons so beautifully with senryu poetry. I have attempted haiku poetry a few times but have difficulty discerning the differences since both require the same amount of syllables - 17.

So well said. We need to keep those people in our hearts and prayers - and keep governments and leaders reminded of our responsibilities to help others. Bless you.

Ruby, voted up, awesome, useful, interesting, and shared on Facebook. Such a sad time there now, I feel fore those with no options. Your poem is vivid and speaks for itself. Certainly have them all in my prayers.

We're going to hell in a handbasket. There, I've said it!

Used to be CRAZY folks saying stuff like that. Now, everyone knows it to be true!

Well, well, well said, my beautiful friend! I can hear your heart crying..
