Tears can't be so bad, Harry, especially when they are those of joy.:) It's said that they come from the soul. Perhaps "a tear lost" finds it's place to a spot where it is needed? Wishing you the best!! Love, Mikki

I try not to do it any more Harry, it takes too much out of me. I'm so glad you aren't a girl, you would find it draining too I'm sure! Luv, Lizzie :)

Harry, you are such a sensitive man. Don't keep the tears bottled up inside. Most of the women I know admire a man who is secure enough to shed a tear. Beautiful senryu, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

I rather think if you woke up one day to find you were a girl you would scream, scream your head off. (smile ;) A fine job here Harry. Good luck my friend in the contest. God Bless, JB

Harry, Your middle line says it all in this lovely senryu. It is quite wonderful as are you!

Yes, they say that is one reason men don't live as long as women..They can't cry a good cry..I hope just a work and not anything sad going on in your life..Enjoyed reading this morn..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

This is amazing. I absolutely loved it, enough said. I agree with the blow comment - the mystery adds a lot of flavor to the Senryu in which you've constructed so well on this poignant topic. Very well done! Always, Laura

This is a short form poem and yet it is FULL of powerful words! Is it for Frank's contest,Harry?

weep joyfully!! What a combination Harry, love it.. We sometimes need to cry to get back on track and guys find it very difficult to do.. Love your approach, all the best if it is for Frank's contest ;) love Wilma
