Just Because (senryu-maybe)

Bella Shepard

I talked to my world

I asked it, "Why is it so"?

The answer, "Just because"

    Or, as some say, 'It is what it is'!

    • Bella Shepard

      Thank you orchidee, I find myself saying that more and more these days.

    • Distant View

      Indeed, things just are, and we can do nothing about SOME of the things that just are!

      • Bella Shepard

        Thank you for your comment, feels like we're all in this together sometimes which makes it a little more bearable.

      • Rozina

        Yes this makes perfect sense. Good one.

        • Bella Shepard

          Thank you Rozina, appreciate your comment. It was just one of those days.

            Thank you my friend, sometimes that's all there is.

            This is excellent, to see you fit it in the senryu form as well is spectacular. This delightfully reminds me of a Lana Del Rey poem called "Never to Heaven" in which she say:

            "The whys in this lifetime I've found are inconsequential
            compared to the magic of the nowness - the solution to most
            questions
            there are no reasons"

            This poem is amazing, thank you.

              Thank you dear Rocky for your kind comments on my first time with this form. I'm learning more and more, and loving it. I googled "Never to Heaven", what a remarkable poem. After reading it, I just wanted to sit and linger over it. Thank you for making me aware of it.

              I know little about the senryu form but regardless this is an appropriate response. Short and to the point.

                Thank you so much for your comment. I didn't even know that this form existed before I came here. It's been fun playing with it.
