Haiku/Senryu / Where?

I can’t rate this highly as senryu, as for me it’s simply a statement and two questions written in 5/7/5.  It’s still touching and full of emotion though.

Nicely done.
Difficult topic handled well.
If the “he” in the second sentence is referring
to God, then it should be capitalized.

A good piece. Syllables all correct. Very dark in content, and it does affect the reader. Hints to a loss of faith, a taboo subject.

Your notes explain the piece, so if you submit it anywhere, you’d need to submit the explanation too.

I think we can all relate to this one. It’s well put. People who say that God will protect them from the evils of the world just haven’t experienced it.

It’s seems to obvoius for me, it seems more like a statment/question than a senryu. Although it has all the elements to make it such. Although we all relate this question, and the twist. It’s simply been asked this way often enough.
