Lovely string of senryu, Eileen. Here you are being strict, but knowing you, you might still give this 'poor' fellow another chance:) hugs // paul

I am curious to what motivated this write. I must admit I don't entirely understand it. This form is normally humorous so I have to admit it leaves me somewhat perplexed.

Hi, Richard. Glad you passed by. I'm so so tired. Just finished cleaning up after a big family lunch. My back hurts.... :( About the poem...I wasn't aware that senryu was supposed to be humorous. I thought it was a reflection of life. I'm very enamored by words. Too much so. This poem is stating that words will no longer sway better judgment. That's all I can say on this write. Thanks for visiting, my dear. You are hero material.

my Enchantress, None are perfect in this grey world and the discovery that one you have idolised is only in the end just as fallible as all others is heart breaking. But to lock you heart to their words is to deny their redemption. As ilene said this is a style that I have not seen from you before, it has a hardness to it that speaks of implacability. It is a great write but it worries me a little. love Shane xxx

Don't worry, Shane. I'll live! :) Thanks for being there for support. I'm a softie, but now and again....I have to roar, just to know I still can. Hugs...Will get back to you soon....

Eileen, I have read this three times, each time arriving at a different scenario. Well written and thought provoking.
