Lonely Woman

just like a lighthouse
scans horizon with her eyes
nobody comes near

Just finished reading and re-reading all of your senryu. I've known women like this and many don't want you to get too close.

Thanks for spending the time to go through my back catalogue, James- My good Lady isn't too well at the moment, so I haven't a lot of free time to sit down and do anything constructive, never mind write anything. I appreciate your dropping by. Will get to play catchup shortly, hopefully. Regards, Viv

Takk, Anne Lise. I always find lighthouses a little melancholy- reaching out all of the time, but everyone has to avoid them. Viv x

beautiful but sad imagery Mr Viv:-) hugs Jan xx Incidentally we have one lighthouse here at the point of Ayre that is now inland caused by coastal erosion and deposition! they had to build another smaller one nearer the sea - this is called 'the Winkie' - it has since had to be moved for a secondtime - oh the power of the sea! :-) hugs jan xx

Should have left it to the sea's erosion- then youl'd have a wonky winkie. I thinkie. Viv x

lol:-) the name of the mini lighthouse is so funny - sadly in reality it will need to be moved again in time as it is getting further and further away from the coast line:-( hugs jan xx

Thanks, Jan. Can't think of anything worse than having my winkie readjusted. Making my eyes water. Viv x
