BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MICHAEL ~ love the driftwood fish ! Loved the one liners ! 1. Since i became INCONTINENT I only go to Europe for my Holidays and I DIDN\'T vote BREXIT ! 2. The same was true of WONG & WITE 3. My Mantra is \"Better to dream in VAIN than never to dream at all\" Yours BRIAN.

Bright up three lines. Like them all. I believe we are vain dreamers that get in shock when awakened.

Love to bits number 2 which raised a big smile on reading. That third one-liner is thought-provoking too. Great write Michael.

No.2: Morning and Evening were never meant to meet?
Like all three, but no.1 is the favorite.

THREE SENRYUS
Louis Gibbs said:
You dedicated students of the fine art of poetry leave me feeling a little inadequate, and admiring your knowledge of our craft. Once I understood these to be three, I could appreciate the beauty of them. Kudos, Michael!

THREE SENRYUS
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MICHAEL and what you say in comment is TRUE. The JAPANESE HAIKU is a very sacred Art Form as is the SENRYU & TANKA.
English HAIKU ~ SENRYU ~ TANKAS are indeed LIBERATED (Age of Aquarius) but I like to adhere to the 17 syllable rule and line pattern (575 for H & S) and 31 ~ 57577 pattern for T\'s ! Linked or serial H S & T\'s) are quite common but (as you say) each should stand alone. Thanks for sharing ~ Perfect Senryu ~ Perfect topic (the ANGST of love !) and each one complete in itself and yet a perfect trilogy. This SITE is becoming more CLASSICAL each day ! Please check \"A DAID ARMYDILLY\" (Written and sung by COLBUSAF) ~ It has won my Roadkill Award for Poem of the Day ! Love MPS (despite one glitch) it gets better every day ~ Yours BRIAN

I have no idea what a senryus
Is Michael, I just love the poem
It\'s content and my imagination
Being used when reading

THREE SENRYUS
FredPeyer said:
Michael, your writing astonishes me. These three senryus are great. And since a senryu is supposed to contain some humor or satire, I am still debating which way you went.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
The moving hand doth write
and having writ moves on
alas so does the paper
I\'ve just written on
Basdillion Bronco will not do
I\'ve flushed the bugger down the LOO
It happens to the best of us
and even APPLES self delete
Always remember a POEM is::
Any words in any order (Morcombe & Wiseman)
Love the visual LONDON BUS meets TELEPHONE BOX !
You most astute COMMENTATOR ~ BRIAN

Does anyone here watch the Japanese channel NHK. They\'ve just had a great programme on haikus which has inspired me - must tune in more often.

Heather T said:
I\'d love to have this on a wall in my home. It has an extra meaning for me, being teased often and for years over doing that very thing. I used to keep a box of verses and poem fragments. I\'d become inspired and write furiously on whatever was available. Paper towels, junk mail, leaves, coloring books...I even wrote on my own skin. Love this, Michael.
