This is a very deep senryu,written with your usual insight and sensiblity....Thank you Effendi,for your warm comments ,dear bro,you arouse my curiousity when you say your crazy about babies,do you have some or many or still unmarried,maybe too young?

This is a powerful haiku. What is the "Black Water" a metaphor for? As to my poem I think I was trying to show that lepoards don's change their spots just like that. I don't condone piracy but I do like reading novels about it. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

I gather you refer to the notorious Black Water Agence with questionable operations globally. I have read some research material on them and I must say your poetry describes them spot on! Very good write with a moral from it for us all.
