Jack Jordan Poet Senryu

Senryu 1

Squirrel roadkill
       flattened by unheeding wheels
       No! He escaped!!




A note to readers: The squirrel escaped and wasn't flattened into roadkill. My apologies for my lack of clarity.

I guess I wasn't as clear as I should have been. The squirrel escaped, and wasn't flattened. I'm going to add a note to that effect. Jack

Timothy Hicks May 23, 2013 at 9:54 AM Escaped? LOL! You're so cruel... most people feel bad when that happens... it seems to be a great pastime in your book. Unexpected, coming from you! Good one... Jack Jordan May 23, 2013 at 10:21 AM I've had it happen many times, an unavoidable squirrelicide, only to see it run from under my car to freedom - he escaped! Oh no... I feel guilty for weeks afterwards.
