Jack Horne Poet Senryu

After the Romance

after the romance
came boredom and arguments
then divorce papers

*hope this isn’t too bleak – I read the form should be cynical or darkly humorous

25th January for Francine’s Romantic Senryu contest

Brenda Victoria Northeast January 25, 2012 at 11:35 PM It is good to see a different slant on the title of romance- good one- not the subject matter but good write, blessings, Bren

Andrea Dietrich January 25, 2012 at 7:39 PM ARE you saying francine's contest said to be cynical? Or you read somewhere that senryu is generally that way? hmmm. IN any event,I think this can work well for her contest. YOur title was a great one for what you wrote, jack!

Judy Ball January 25, 2012 at 4:41 PM But it's oh so true too. Sort of like "Love is bline, But marriage is an eye opener." Good job. God Bless, JB Tha ks for your comments on Einstein. Glad you liked it. God Bless, JB

Carolyn Devonshire January 25, 2012 at 12:46 PM Very witty, Jack. I didn't now senryu need to be cynical, but you certainly captured the dark humor here. Best wishes in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
