Basking In Life

1.  I am a poetry book. My title is "Basking in Life." 

2.  This book contains many chapters dealing with those things  in which I bask, meaning, the things that brighten my life. This book includes my reflection  on life and love, recollections of happy times, humorous things, my family, pets and grandkids.

3.  My favorite poem in my Poetry Book is the Intro poem. It's in senryu form and it reads as follows:

lying on a beach
basking, my pages exposed . . . 
brightly singing poems


For Linda-Marie's "I Am a Poetry Book" contest

someone just told me they could not leave a comment here .so I am testing. If this goes thru, I think it might be because my computer has a wide screen and the other person does not?? I notice it did a strange thing making the first three lines of my intro stretch out really far to the right!!!

I like this vision, look out your pages don't get scorched... seriously this is a great senryu...well done... thanks for your tip on mine. sometimes I don't pay enough attention to the rules....Luv Margaret p.s. different time zones can make things a bit disjointed.

ty for the sweet comment- the Senryu should be from past poems "I'm pretty sure" and just explain what YOUR poetry is about on top Smiles

This is great!...the comparison, how the image sings through the body and comes out verse. And you say you are lacking in image? HA! Love, daver
