Flooded

rain fell from her eyes
no one was there to catch them--
so she drowned her heart

The emotion comes through your words in a heartfelt way. So much captured in just three lines. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your kind comment. Keep on writing!!! Karen

oh, Nikko, this is a very good senryu. VEry descriptive with just the three lines. About my Halloweening poem, what were you talking about the words costume and a in abandon. I didnt' get that part? As for Dale, he is my stepbrother who liked to stay out very late with me trick or treating, the one killed by a drunk driver as he sat on a curb in Houston. He was such a wonderful guy! Luv, Andrea

Very sad, Nikko. Hope you are doing better now. Sometimes writing about our problems helps. Take care, Diane

My mom used to say, "Let a smile be your umbrella." Very touching senryu, Nikko. I saw the weather warnings for the Phillipines, too, and hope you are in a safe place. Love, Carolyn
