A senryu that paints so well what should be done, much more often… communication.

Do not let a child play a game without checking its rating beforehand. Violence is involved in some video games and these are reserved for players over the age of 18. It is inappropriate to allow small children to play these sorts of games. Children who engage in playing violent video games may have nightmares, and the games may have an impact on their behavior.

Thank you!
To sit together around a fire brings nearness, yet I can feel a tang of bitterness in the smoke …
Yes, that shift of mood/feeling was what I wanted to suggest. Thank you.
Just lovely.
Thank you : )
I think haiku are all about surprises and of course disappointments. You can just imagine your fond expectations going up in smoke!
Yes! Thanks for seeing that dichotomy.
This is great. There is an element of acceptance, despite the disappointments.
