About This Poem

Senryu 001

Now is the hour
when we must say goodbye...
dagger drives deep.

    harry, thanks for you comment. I do laugh a lot! This poem is short. So it leaves room for interpretation. Is it just the pain of a temporary goodbye, a death or a breakup? These are the questions I ask myself. This is a pleasure to think about. Great job.

    This is a loaded one, Harry... it makes me wonder what the story could be behind this-- almost like a suspense novel or movie in my mind. definitely a different way to say goodbye...I hope you are having a good weekend!
