Poetic Form: Senryu

sedulous

pull out all the stops
keep your shoulder to the wheel
go the extra mile

bust your chops sweat blood
work your fingers to the bone
bend over backwards

go to great lengths put 
your heart and soul into it
and work like a dog

go at it hammer 
and tongs roll up your sleeves do 
the heavy lifting

put your nose to the 
grindstone put in the hours 
break your back

Victor Buhagiar August 26, 2024 at 10:22 AM Great talent you have manifested in these Senryu. Worthy of a second read. William Kelii Kekaula August 26, 2024 at 11:48 AM Conciliatory wisdom in short, brief, simple phrases, has benefited my 40 year career in service to notable personage such as my family for starters. I wrote others besides this one on various topics. These little bits of wisdom are gifts that one unwraps slowly o'er a lifetime.
