Notes About The Poem

**

Poetic Form: Senryu

Inspired: 2024 August 10

frankly speaking

fool me once shame on 
me ~ fool me twice shame on you ~
but more I ignore ...

facts of life ~ well taught
lives well ~ so-so not so well ~
not at all ... jail cell

Spring to life ... summer
lounge ... fall remembered ~ then say
colder than least year

I dream to forget
you ... not at night but by day
 ~ you haunt my nightmares ...

*heard you of ... four two
three then none ... handstand yoga
taught by an angel

*baby crawl on fours, adult stands on two, elder's cane makes three, Heavenly carry leaves none ~ then mine is a parody pun.

Sara Kendrick August 12, 2024 at 4:04 AM I think that someone we once loved is never forgotten but becomes a faint memory that sometimes comes to light but each time it means less and less. Interesting work you have penned. Sara K William Kelii Kekaula August 12, 2024 at 10:07 AM Tis perplexing yet weighs heavy as a constant dismissing ambiguity, rather profundity and or recondite that could sway directions to either a darkening burden, or a deep blessing, thank you Sara. Aloha William
