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.
Five good senryus Phil.

Thanks Andy.
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 ..
