A good way to end my evening by reading this warm and comfortable Senryu. So true in its premise. Charles

I agree, they are good people, with good advice. I am a novice at this, and not well-versed, so to speak, in forms of poetry. I don't know what it would have been in its former state, but I believe it is now a senryu. If not, I hope someone reading will let me know. It seems to read better, rhythmically, so perhaps that is good. And I think it has still kept its original message. Thank you everyone. And Nigel, I have just read some of your work -- amazing. I will read more.

Yes. You are right. It reads much better this way. Thank you, as always, for your advice. I appreciate you reading my work as well.

Very profound statement, Deb! You have defined faith so well here. It is the beginning of our passageway to eternal life. Love, Carolyn
