Her Very Own Senryu

Neville

Her Very Own Senryu

 

He wrote for her

a tiny song ..

Yet one without

a tune ..

My word, she said

how lovely ..

No haiku he replied

And then she smiled

and later chose

to wear those three

lines proud ..

Set horizontally in fine

print and ink ..

Across and just below

her perfect

left hand, milk white

collar bone ..

      Hello Steven, I doubt it my friend .. Jennifer the inspiration for these words, is no longer with us .. She passed away two days after she was hit by a car .. She was in fact an old lover & the Godfather to my son ... We were friends write till the very end ...................................................... Neville

        tattooing, nowadays
        is seeming, more and more
        like foreshadowing
        our impending, regrets..
        lol

        made me chuckle, a fun read

            For the passage of years to bear witness to a proud statement of love and for his eyes to fall upon undying devotion.

              A word of love
              A caution of humour
              Inked was the love
              In the heart of lover
              What the ink define on body
              When the soul buries deep inside


              Beautiful and well crafted dear Neville
              Clever lines dipped in sweet honey

              • Neville

                  Wonderful words Neville.
                  This happened to me recently, a friend had an awful relationship that she eventually ended and during that time I listened to her and wrote poems for her, I also showed her poems including "And still I rise" by Maya Angelou, she then had the words

                  I rise
                  I rise
                  I rise

                  tattooed on her forearm.

                  Andy
