Janice Canerdy Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Who Would Do Such a Thing

Vengeful man sics dog
on neighbor, pats pet on head, 
smiles, saying “Bad dog”!




After writing multiple versions, I decided I needed only seventeen syllables to convey my symbolic message! (written after being sickened by reports on riots at the Capitol)
