Wow... wonderful write... the picture and the words just fit so well...

Thats great! How many meanings one can find in this work- innocense and war and flash...there is quiet a lot I have to think about while reading this- and the picture fits in a perfect way! Thank you for reading my poetry- I am so happy whenever people are interested in my poetry- and I am most interested in persons who are excellent native languahue writers- because English is only my second languague I only learned it at school and it is not very good- I thank for any help even if there are mistakes in it- I love when you tell me s.th. is not good as on the Haiku- for me it was so difficult to understand what you meant by CRISP- my dictionary told me it was a cooked potatoe...A
all the wishes for you from Denise -
Definately surreal and scary...and the red of your text enhances the scariness. You are such a gifted writer when it comes to haiku...you capture things perfectly in so few words.

Thanks Myra and to the rest of my friends here.... the photo is a natural shot..... no photoshop etc...... it alarmed me...... surreal and scary... the poem just popped into my mind........... sigh... hard to imagine....
many blessings to you Myra..... -
An alarming write, yet beautiful in its execution ... I love the photo ... although it may represent destruction, it is also somewhat tender in its soft nothingness ... In contrast, the verbalization stand out as more impressive; more shocking ...
Thank you for sharing, my friend.

I like the picture very much! What you have written can be interpreted in so many ways!
In personal ways or as an anti war message or just something abstract...It has different dimensions!

You made so many good points in this in just a few words... you never cease to astound me! I completely agree with you. It is sad, but your poem was beautiful. Humanity isnt so human after all I guess... stupid stubborn people!
*hugs*

wow this is nice and the picture is awsome

this says so much. really powerful, and the line
"shockingly brilliant"
when placed in the context of the poem has such a different meaning. it gives me a sense of utter helplessness and inevitability, imagining that flash and the rushing air.
excellent write and i pray it never comes to pass.

I sure hope this one doesn't come to be, though some people sure do seem hellbent on destruction, and see nothing wrong with it. Hard to reason with that.
It is strange to think the last thought on someone's mind while witnessing a nuclear blast might be "how pretty" like they're watching a sunset.
I think this one will inspire a lot of thoughts and poems in response, especially in these scary times.
Beautiful work, as usual.

Sorry Sara.... didn't mean to make you cry.......... but it is amazing how many lives have lost over ego.... who's God is real... what religion is right....... the things people just decide on... and go to war over........... then the innocent people parish side by side with the evil. Sad..... but the story is true and has been forever.............. many blessings to you........ and a huge hug.

Wow, This is powerful & sends out a very strong message. Gosh, Don, I'm about to cry !!! You used very good imagery (as always) and have sent out such an important moral to all that read & see this piece, Nicely done!

Hmmm....This is really interesting. You say that it speaks for itself, and you are right in a way. It does have a very powerful voice. It seems that this is about The Bomb, and if so, then yes, it does. If I misinterpret it though, sorry. But it's very well done.
