Comment from N. Rabwar

Excellent

This poem is short, but powerful. I like how it points out how geography or
time have no bearing on emotional distance. The poem is very precise in its imagery.

Succinctly put and hauntingly true. The experience comes full circle from the echo resounding in the silence and fading away, but not enough to erase the memory. You said it better and gently. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest. Marge

This is a fine naani poem and entry for the contest
with the correct syllables and a good touch of alliteration.
Yes, memory clings to words;
once spoken, they can never be recalled.
Excellent choice of art work.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.

This really hits home for me. What happened many years ago, is about to happen again. It is almost unbearable, to think it happened once and appears to be once more. The visual is very real, as to the devastation that the act leaves behind. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541
