IE, Interesting thought...how do you get the attention of someone you might like to have around? I think your poem answers the question...we really have to go with the flow and just see what happens. There's nothing like letting fate work its magic. You express a lot of wisdom here. Smiles, of course!!! I mean we really don't have to act like a monster to get what we want. We're better off letting it go rather than using up so much paint!

Wow wow wow that's absolutely miles beyond the mainstream and just reflecting the uniqueness of your style, my sweet ink!! What an incredible honour and pleasure it is to be able to read your words after so long, and it always comes as a refreshing breeze for me, as you know how much I adore ur poetry hah! Valentine vampire... who can ever imagine this astounding way of describing, it's almost spooky yet metaphorically rich at the same time ~ "but to be your sky must I paint the moon in red" My goodness, that speaks the depth of a thousand moons to me!! A love that's tragic and haunting, that's always bloodthirsty even after giving our all. Stunning! Best wishes for the contest, you nailed this senryu and it's one of my favorites from you ~ keep shining always!

Heya Ink! Valentine vampire has a certain cuteness to it, also a hint of passionate danger, which brings a sense of poetic duality to your work, a very clever little verse, love it! Cheers David
