Awesome, Tirzah. Great job. All the best in the contest. Thanks for your comments. As to the 5/7/5 I guess thats syllables. I have no business in this contest anyway cause me and syllables are incompatable. If it isn't Rhyme or Limerick I should not get involved. Other forms baffle me. I just thought I'd give this one a shot. Worse that can happen is disqualification. But I appreciate you trying to help me but I'm a lost cause Grammer-wise. Anyway thanks. Have a great day, Ralph.

Interesting, Tirzah. I hadn't heard about this technique to keep "bad luck at bay!" Nicely written senryu and I wish you luck in John's contest! Love, Carolyn
