Oh, Marti, everyone is writing stuff and I can't even think of ONE thing to say. I want to do one perfect senryu. The form is so difficult. If I don't do it soon, I am out of luck. Good luck in this contest. I think everyone is doing stories like you are doing or else one senryu dealing with the word setbacks. Hope you had a nice day. I need to finish cleaning and pick my mom up in just three hours!!
