This is an interesting prompt as senryu are poems which have irony or satire, they are not odes. Not your fault unless you started the contest. A well written poem (although not really a senryu0, my friend~Debbie

Very well composed. This speaks of the universal attachment parents and children have. I hope the word "flown" in the second line means he's living somewhere else, not deceased.

A lot said in few words... very well done. It pulls ever so gently at the heart strings. Strong finish to your Senryu poem! Blessings, AmyJo

Kinship can be the strongest bond of all and the love of a parent for his or her child is one that can never be broken - not even by death. This is a unity that transcends borders.

I believe that the most important resource we have is our kids. And I think the most important thing for America's future is to invest more in our children. Thanks for the wonderful tribute to your son.

Looks like a fine young man, and I can tell you are close. Someone probably told you already, but the second line has only six syllables. Not sure, but I think you can only count one syllable for our. Excellent otherwise!

My beloved son (add kireji)
Through time our souls have flown <>For all time, we're joined (the connection is not clear)

I would change it a little bit to improve the flow and get rid of time, repeating words in such a small poem ...

My beloved son,
our souls have flown together --
eternally (5/7/4)

There are strong feelings and emotions that come through your senryu form. Your second line is smooth and shows how connected you are to your son. I wish you well in the contest.
