Sunday LXVI of the series '100 ways to haiku a mask
tears roll down cheeks
smudged silence sob
from many humans

singed again by war where words
could've been better spoken

Yes there are many tears falling all over the world. Thank you for joining us at the 200th Muse Gillena!
Powerful poems, Gillena. Masks themselves will feel different for a long time. And the idea of "smudged silence sob" catches in my throat.

So tragic, sad that people are going to suffer because of a man’s ego … well done, Gillena.

Gillena, there is nothing more to be said about then matter than what is in your poem. I also think your musical selection is perfect.
Exactly.
Too many tears, I know I have shed a few this week.
Tears are falling for the Ukraine, and prayers are for peace.
