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 ..

Have I met her, do you know?! lol.
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
Sorry about that N. I keep meeting 'fictional' lasses!
tattooing, nowadays
is seeming, more and more
like foreshadowing
our impending, regrets..
lol

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
Thanks spills .... bee tween you n me, I do so love honey ....... N 🙂
Beautiful lines of love in your tribute to your friend.
thank you Roz ................................ she really was kind of special ................................ 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.
