Sneaky lil lady shouldn't be nosing round in his personal stufff....right? ....I had to play Devil's advocate in my response. I always tell my children...including my son...don't go leaving that diary where someone could read it and get hurt. Great senryu. Gwendolen

Very interesting senryu, Russell. However, you have eight syllables in the second line. How about exchanging "within" for "in"? That will reduce the syllable number to seven without losing anything in the descriptiveness.

Check the syllable counter on this site and surprisingly they said that that line with "in" was only 6 syllables...so I used within. That's my reasoning. I thought it strange too!
