Description
Thank you Chipka and Auntietk. After some thought, I added a title and, I hope, amplified the meaning a little. This is the fair copy.

so, so sad ...

It didn't need a title ... your words contained it all. Still, I'm happy to comment again. This is really good work.

Thank you very much, I'm very glad that some readers liked my poem. Now that you mention it, auntietk, a title does seem superfluous. After all, who on earth wouldn't know what I was writing about?

I like this quite a lot, bot with and without the title. I think it works well both ways. Titles sometimes shift the meaning of a piece, but here, I think it just underlines the main point. Without the title, there was a kind of spooky ambiguity to it, and with the title, that ambiguity is gone, but the power of the poem in amplified; the title may not be "necessary," but it's not useless either. That's what I like about poetry in general, it's not like fiction because it can change its shape a lot more easily. Fiction can do the same thing, of course, but in a different, slower way. Feel free to post more. You have a marvelous poetic voice.

Thanks again, Chipka. For the record, Massacre was my first poem in about thirty years. There's no more to post. What happened in Newtown Ct. moved me rather deeply. I wanted to say something.
