Seen a lot of good when everything went so right good times in my life. Had some sadness too things go wrong I don’t know why lots of things go wrong. I’m a lonely man tried to sort it out but how I just don’t know why Taken lots of chances lots of changes in my life seen the other side. Just got to do this got to do something with life why put up a fight. I’m on the wrong side track well worn with forlorn souls tried to sort it out. Been lots of sadness trouble in town other night cut down in a fight. I guess this my life just rushing by in seconds the knife oh the pain. Seen a lot of good when everything went so right but she went away! © Harry J Horsman 2013

Very touching, Harry. I wonder, like the others, if this is coming somewhere from inside your heart. I hope not. As always...your poems has touched my heart. Great write.

I too feel, why such things happen in life of many. Sometimes, I feel that fate is God's design, we all are bound to bear with that. Perhaps, it's a test for next life. I believe incarnation. Your sharp pen has given sorrow tears of ink with words which touched my heart. Loved always my friend, bl

Outstanding and Interesting String Senryu, Harry. They run deep-touch of sadness.. and as usual with you, they are written very well. Thank you for reading me. Always, Annalise

Harry; This is good , but very sad. I too hope it's not you. Life is bad, but nothing lasts forever. Smile - we love you. Other people have it worst. It is not time for you to rest in peace yet. Lucilla

oh yes, I remember that form. One time someone did a contest of string haiku. This one is very interesting, Harry. I am pretty sure you are not the actual "I" of this poem. but good way to get into the shoes of the character!

the hurting soul brings forth poetry, when beached upon a shoal, methinks :{ suffering a similar fate, brings us closer here ol mate...

A very 'well-connected' tale, Harry! Much feeling with 'spikes' in every direction... Terry
