Oh, you gave me an idea, one of her holding the apple, you're too funny-- she is the granny of hatred (what do you call them? Gas bags) and has her fans indeed, she inspires them! ~ all in fun of course. :D this really isn't my bag.

Yes, remorse vs apology..in this senryu actually, i find revenge humorous, it's really all the ego, vanity, self-victimization, please don't get me wrong, venting can be therapeutic , what urks are the intentions of words~ revenge is hatred, vengeful forms of justice -- self-reflection?
