his smile is lost

Very sad
What a tragic photo and haiku – sometimes things just need to be said.
Very tragic haiku … and that photo heartbreaking
Such sadness & beautiful writing.
so sad for sure…what a leap you made from those battling kites…
Your haiku expresses the heartbreak so well…I can feel the visceral emotion and it brings tears.
There is a heavy sadness in this short poem. We can’t ignore this stuff but it is so hard to know what to do to help.
aw, this one got me right in the heart. so much agony in this world…
