Hello Nette, oops I just now realised I put the form of this wrongly, I should have been senryu I have changed it now, I must be well rusted up l'ol' I shall do a tanka next time though.'

The middle line is my favorite, as themes always resurrect. I also like eating radishes with salt. Subtle poem that can create many meanings. Well done lol
