Curiosity is like knives and fire; when controlled it provides food to satisfy the hunger, when uncontrolled it can lead to a dangerous end. A thought provoking question you have posed, Aditi. I loved this senryu, especially the phrase "curled labyrinth". Congratulations on your win ~ John

Curiosity is a double-edged sword...giving in to it can be beneficial or a curse. It guides us during our learning process, but can also lead to pain and unpleasant outcomes. Your 3 lines are a source of much pondering, Aditi! ~ Regards // paul
