Unruffled

Wind rushes through me
Blowing everything around--
Still I stand firmly

So this is your first poem, huh? Great meaning behind this..this demonstrates that you are a strong person. Wonderful senryu..:) It would look more powerful to me without the 'still' in the last line 'Wind rushes through me Blowing everything around-- I stand firmly` -like this. Hope you don't mind me saying that, just my opinion. Anyway, great message here. I will continue reading one poem a day till I finish them all. :D Have a great week-end, sweetie:* Hugs, Emilia:)
