Cast Away--Wilson the Volleyball

A stranded lone man
talking to a volleyball...
personified friend

though only listens
it gives him inspiration...
wilson the friend

Hi, Kash, finally I can come here and tell you thanks for doing my contest though I know a movie senryu is hard for someone not a movie buff. This was cute. I remember the movie and really liked it. Congrats on your win with me and Nikko.Luv, Andrea

Happy New Year Kash,,, Did you know that his ball wilson, had a secret part in the cartoon movie MADAGASCAR" and another movie... can't remember the other one i'd seen it in... That ball be came real famous.... And can you imagine the advertisement alone on the name brand of the volley ball was pretty sneaky....love that movie... great senryu....always,..p.d.

Sounds like that guy is in need of friends. If my only friend was a volleyball, I would be in terrible shape. Good write Kash.

The Best Supporting Act goes to Wilson! if ever a volleyball could win an Oscar. Nicely done kash, you captured the loneliness yet enlighten moment at the same time.

Sometimes the best friend only listens. Those would be the ones who were not first in the birth order like me. We can't help but to give our advice.
