Hi Paul, firstly, belated congratulations on your placement in the contest. An excellent Senryu from your pen. Always so much saID IN SO FEW WORDS. I try these forms now and again but I find it hard to get my thought across. Wonderful Senryu Paul. May your pen ever run gold. Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Hi Paul, Bikes are great fun! Love my bike and the happiness I get when riding it . However your few words are also so philosophical! We must face the ups and downs of live and have to face them, even if we are riding a bike! Kind regards, Jennifer
