Simply Senryu: Beauty is beauty

Beauty is pursued
The poet is the pursuer
Poetry the prize

Verse a healing balm
Words can act like medicine
For souls in distress

Beauty is beauty
Light can transform anything
Metaphor for grace

Hello Jim, I liked how you revealed the poet's eternal pursuit of beauty through the transformative power of verse. I felt each line echoes with the truth that poetry is not merely crafted but chased, an endeavor fueled by the longing to capture moments of grace and healing. Yes, it's the poet's quest for truth and beauty. - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. I have always thought that "crafted" poetry is much better than the "manufactured" kind.
