Notes About The Poem

A Senryu followed by a (reverse)-Than-Bauk, followed by a Monoku.

Show Some Love

when someone's in need 
and someone is down and out 
be kind, show some love  

These things of love 
Is what- brings smiles  
The little things  

Just my personal advice, remember- be kind, it's nice to be nice.

Awh, dear Charles, this is such a heartwarming poem which reflects how little acts of kindness can turn a melancholic day into a magical one.. So rightly said "it's nice to be nice" Very true! If humanity understands these simple things of showing empathy and kindness, this world become such a soothing place to live in.. A beautiful combination of senryu, than-bauk and monoku you've presented here, quite unique.. My best wishes to you for the contest :)
