Very unusual senryu. Either you're irritated with the snowfall or you're writing on one of those old telegram machines, in Morse code (lol). I like people that try and take the senryu and go somewhere different with it ... not often will you find much repetition in these minimalist poems!

Constance, I really like your take on the senryu style :) Has the weather in your neck of the woods heeded your command, "stop"? I believe it was you who taught me a little about E.E. Cummings..if i am correct, I want to thank you again. I find the style so lovable:)...do you have a favorite I can take a look at (title)?..I hope the snow stops in time for a snow-day, and a romp in the beautiful white caps before the sun creates mud!!I miss NY

Jill, thanks for visiting my poem, I do love EE Cummings and use his style for free verses often, I would have to look at my list of poems to give you a title, we just had a huge snow storm here, as much snow fell in one day as we usually get in a month, that is a lot of snow, the city was at a stand still...
