A Senryu Attempt

Rozina

 

She read to her son.

Now a famed Oxford linguist

His students worldwide

3 days to write 3 lines! I knew the shortest poems would be the most difficult to write. I think I'll go back to my simple rhyming ones.

    • Rozina

      Thank you. As soon as I had posted it, I thought I should have written
      ‘Now a famed British author
      His readers worldwide’

    • Rozina

      Thank you for your encouragement Teddy. As I said to Neville, as soon as I had posted it I thought of alternative words I could have used. Will keep practising.

    • L. B. Mek

      'but what depth, they hold
      three lines of enduring Love
      a Mother's: beauty'
      (great write!
      thanks for sharing, dear Poet
      well worth the effort and wait)

      • Rozina

        Thank you Mek.

        A great lesson contained in just those three lines "from little acorns mighty oak trees grow".
        A Very clever, well thought out, piece of writing Rozina.

        • Rozina

          Thank you dusk.

          It's hard to see it as hard until you attempt to write it. I haven't even bothered yet.

          • Rozina

            Yes true. Thank you.

            • ProfessionalPaperDigester

              Of course! People need to be recognized where they deserve it!

                Welcome to the world of the 575s - I prefer to avoid calling them by their formal names as they come with strict albeit questionable rules - I just stick to the syllable count which many ignore. Anyway this is great write, but as you say, it's nowhere as easy as it looks.

                • Rozina

                  Thank you. Yes, harder than the other poems I’ve put up.

                • Paul Bell

                  You're doing great.
                  For some reason I always think, linguist is a dirty word. lol

                  • Rozina

                    Oh no I wonder what he’s been teaching his global students!

                    • Paul Bell

                      Tell you when I enrol. lol

                    • Rozina

                      Thank you for the words of encouragement.
