hahaha. OH I LOVE THIS. HOw did I ever miss it. When going through your list of poems to read, I normally hunt down the senryu or haiku first!!!

Andrea...it was for a contest on Instagram and I did end up getting this ditty showcased on a large poetry account. It was one of my first wins so I'm kind of partial to it. Thank you, Dearheart, for your support.

Oh dear... lol.. Just a little tip Rhoda, a haiku is supposed to be about nature, you could call this a senryu instead...

The message is definitely there, but we are still allowed the benefit of drawing out our own conclusions. Rumors have it that....:) Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. It was a fun haiku to dream up. I have one other such haiku where you can draw your own conclusions. I'll post that one next. I sincerely appreciate your attention.
