Genius Or Madness

Congratulations on your win in Brian's "Whatever"contest Carolyn. Love, Carol

One of my best friends who passed away 5 yrs ago was a genius and developed many patents for amazing discoveries...she was never MAD yet she was definitely OVER driven in many ways. Her passion for excellence drove her a lil over the edge. This senryu is great! A stick of dynamite! Gwendolen

and THIS is why I always come back to the Soup Kitchen! Good stuff Buddy! And yes, I was away for a while from my hobby site. BUT I will NEVER take a break from writing. On top of other projects I have written a few dozen new poems...many of which are not soup appropriate...oops! I did put one new one up tonite, and I will do some more. Thanks for checking on me! ~JSLambert

Wonderful Carolyn!!! You're so right, sometimes both seems seamless! Great Senryu, my dear friend! A puity that I still have these problems with right arm and hand and now also a problem with my left shoulder! Thank you so much for your kind comments and congrats! Love, Gert

I often wonder where my division sets dear poet...as with regard my writes that is ! This is a "genius" Senryu Carolyn, one for us to muse over, sipping on our morning tea and dabbling with thoughts for writes ! Awesome love ! I had a wonderful time reading you this morning dear Carolyn ! Have a wonderful week my dear friend ! And here the rain is ah soaking everything ;)....much love, james

Clever write, Carolyn! I think for some these are can be co-related. Known people who I'd found to be genius, but they felt like social rejects.:( There might be a fine line between both? Success hadn't made them happy campers. Anyhow, best wishes to you and yours, love, Mikki

YEAAAA. I remember this one and it rocks. Congratulations.

Yes indeed, Carolyn. Good thinking material....and I do like to think...while I still can! Use it or lose it . ....Now all we have to do is define success? well done, poetry friend of mine. and congratulations to you!

such an intriguing write, carols... best kudos to you for the enchating win..:) huggs!

Oh you! Well done LNC..love BG

Quite true Carolyn. Paranornal thinking is Godly, and like infinity, unlimited in it's potential. Congratulations on your poem's honored success in Brian's inspiring contest. Agape, Moses

Congratulations on the win in the contest of brian, Carolyn

This piece is (measureably great) as i eckon things anyway Carolyn. Good to see you putting great stuff out there.

" that to be sane".. :( lol...

it is said that to sane is to have some moments of insanity.. sheer madness of one fine write, carols.. what a success in the senryu arena... best winning wishes with more prayers for the best of health.. how are you?? :) huggs!

Carolyn, this is so clever.. Good luck for Brian's contest my friend ;) love Wilma

All too true my dear Poet friend... So much said in a few lines... I love this form and your entry, hope your feeling better... Love Michael

Enjoyed this write. Had to laugh at James comment. Maybe he is our next musical genius ha ha . lol phyl

Yes, this is so true. What a great way to put it in your senryu!

Just brilliant Carolyn!Sometimes the level of IQ/knowledge of genius people is so high that common men can't reach that level or understand them.So their success is the barometer of gauging their sanity of mind!-kash

If a madman can have just one moment of genious..that enough! And often they do... This one made me think...BG
