The Old Man In the Park

THE OLD MAN IN THE PARK Every day, same time, He comes alone to sit there. Quietly feeds birds. Judy Ball Senryu is an unrhymed Japanese form much like Haiku but with a humanities theme instead of a nature theme. It records the essence of a moment and consists of three lines. Count is 5,7,5

Sounds like me, Judy, except it's my backyard instead of the park. Actually, our backyard is a park, an animal refuge. This is very delicious stuff, very simple and heart felt. LOve, daver

Thank you so much Jancarl for stopping by. As the song says, There is nothing sweeter than old dogs and children and watermelon wine. God Bless My Friend, JB
