Senryu Spree

Judge much
but not wise
no surprise

Hearts of stone
eyes are blind
no comprehension

Pick and snipe
is not wise no
origional thought

Rigid standard
is their pretentious
banner sad

Free bird
shooting arrows
they kill

Their faith
is in themselves
noone else

Eagle soaring
too much to take
eyes turn away

Sail Captain
on stormy sea
Ship sinks

Dear Jack, you pack so much in this interesting verse. As you say, it would be better to not be so up tight - let loose a little. Enjoyed the thought in this.
