The Bricklayer

Daily toil is yours

Bricks all laid in perfect form

Art from skilful hands





For my talented husband
have read a few great senryu today  and thought I'd try one.

Very good, Margaret. So with this I looked up the difference between the Senryu and the Haiku. It's a subtle but distinct variation. Yours expresses the distinction quite well. Thank you for your comment on mine. This is a great learning process and I'm enjoying it very much.

Margaret, this is really nice, a tribute to your worker husband. Mine too works outdoors, now trucking, but many years he was a builder. Honest and hard labor. Some of those men are the salt of the earth! Luv, andrea. Ps thanks for your kind comments.

This is a nice tribute. This type of work looks so easy, but it takes a LOT of SKILL to keep the bricks from sliding like the magic cake on Sleeping Beauty. Smiles, Dane Ann
