rivers of tears will
fall, memories left hanging
on living room walls.

A very expressive senryu poem, harry, and one that's perfect in the 5-7-5 syllable count. It leaves the reader with a vivid images of photographs hanging on the walls of a home. An excellent senryu. Thank you for your kind words on my recent poem. Carl.

Very profound senryu, Harry. Those pictures on the walls have brought me more tears than I can say, but they also bring back memories of fun times. Life goes on, as they say. Love, Carolyn
