after the romance came boredom and arguments then divorce papers *hope this isn’t too bleak – I read the form should be cynical or darkly humorous 25th January for Francine’s Romantic Senryu contest

It is good to see a different slant on the title of romance- good one- not the subject matter but good write, blessings, Bren

ARE you saying francine's contest said to be cynical? Or you read somewhere that senryu is generally that way? hmmm. IN any event,I think this can work well for her contest. YOur title was a great one for what you wrote, jack!

But it's oh so true too. Sort of like "Love is bline, But marriage is an eye opener." Good job. God Bless, JB Tha ks for your comments on Einstein. Glad you liked it. God Bless, JB

Very witty, Jack. I didn't now senryu need to be cynical, but you certainly captured the dark humor here. Best wishes in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
