SIN-RYU

A sh**load of sparrows
Dancing on the wires
Spots on my truck


A howling of leashes
Domesticated torture
A cat hisses


A cacophony of phrases
A drumming of woodpeckers
Shouting – quiet please


Unopened flowers
A menagerie of metaphor
Optical conclusions

Hello John, You made me smile as I read your well inked senryu! I have parked under wires and trees to my dismay when I returned. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Love that last line - 'optical conclusions,' indeed! Great stuff, John.
