     are,  in  a  married   life,  than


                  infidelity!

This is really good Sunita. These short forms are extremely difficult for me but you have done very well. Good luck in contest!

this is one of the best I have seen so far, it's closer to the true form of senryu (mine for this contest certainly was not!)

Thanks Andrea, you like it. It was a first attempt, a motivation to write for contests here. Congrats my dear, yours was indeed good. I could not have ventured more than the 17 words, frankly! :D

Very powerful, Sunita. So much said in your ten words...the greatest setback of all. Best wishes for the contest. Hugs, Sandra
