Judging World

Standing right in front of a judge 
makes you feel uncertain about yourself, 
afraid that the next thing to hear is the eerie 
sound of a judge's wooden hammer on his table.
Eyes in a city, park, street, mall....judge the way 
you look, walk, and dress. Words flicker in the eyes 
like signals from a lighthouse. It feels like you are 
in a court where everyone is a judge without a wooden 
hammer, with proceedings that never end......

Well said, Teddy. I recognize this style now. I see why Charlotte liked your entry to her contest. You write with deep perception of things. This is not an entry, right? The contest is for a senryu. Kim :-)
