Senryus 5

Senryus 5

 

Birds of a feather

if there’s enough food to eat

will flock together.

 

Love is a sentence

with subject and predicate.

We are the spacing.

 

Every dilemma

can be reduced to two choices.

Wisdom is to choose.

 

What are the chances

two people meeting bet on

loving forever?

 

The bliss of a kiss

can be the prelude to love

or be its climax.

 

Secrets are shadows:

Darkness that harbors evil

and dies in truth’s light.

    I love that last line as well as the pace and some surprising prose to develop the overall point. Nice job. I will make it a point to read more of your work.

      Thank you Bobby O. Yes, secrets can destroy lives and people. Thanks for your insightful comments.

      loved this, a great read
      dear Poet
      (more meaningful when there's an evolving thread
      adding to those syllable count, depths
      succinct wording, as only a beginning
      to poetry's euphonious brevity)

      How I managed to miss these x5 little gems until now is one helluva mystery .. or perhaps not, maybe I was saving the best till last .. whatever the case .. it no longer matters much since each packs one hell of a punch and is quite literarily a crown in its own write ..
