Thoughtful with a sense of obscurity yet revealing double edgedness of human nature. I think mirth do. This piece is really provocative.

Gleams of true nature cannot help coming out of the fascade of put up appearance, at least once in a while . Great senryu and great image showing the duplicity of human nature. Congratulations Smile on your first place win
