Yoni Dvorkis Poet Senryu

Everyone Is Broken

Nothing left to hide
Everything is crystal clear
I must sound absurd

How does one confide
In shattered mirrors held dear
Using only words

Why do I reside
In broken hearts filled with fear
Cage confines the bird

Take it all in stride
Love will resurrect good cheer
Mend my broken world

Carolyn Devonshire April 17, 2009 at 4:32 PM Excellent writing, Yoni! Love the uplifting last verse. Love and time will "mend (your) broken world." How true! Love, Carolyn

Sara Lokken April 15, 2009 at 5:26 PM Stagnant in its truth, but so insightful and raw. "Mend my broken world" is just excruciating. Best wishes, Sara

April 15, 2009 at 8:00 AM Interesting and thought provoking series. The perspective on life in the last stanza is one that we can all learn from. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Keep on writing. Karen

Carolyn Devonshire April 13, 2009 at 8:05 PM There are times when we all feel bare, with "nothing left to hide." Indeed, this feeling is like a cage that confines the heart. Your writing is outstanding! Love, Carolyn

Debbie Guzzi April 13, 2009 at 12:59 PM wonderful use of form expanded & I think I felt the same when I wrote "Sheer Joy" Light & Love
