Alone

Michael Edwards

 

 

ALONE 

 

Weeping at the dance

in leprous isolation

unaccompanied.

 

 

 

A senryu.  Plus, for a change,  I thought I'd post a few photos

of plants in the garden which I took yesterday

- the first one today is a hellebore - one of my favourites.

    Super senryu
    Connecting us with nature
    With your hellebore

      Thanks Andy - I've got a bed of these with some great colours - will be posting flowers from the garden over the next few days.

      Is that the stinking variety?! A fine write and pic M.

      Perfect poem and of course your artist's eye caught the flower just like a painting!

        Thanks Lorna - It's interesting that a good photo doesn't often make a good painting unless it has been taken by an artist. Photographers and artists don't look for the same things in composition etc.

          Well you can do everything!

          Thanks for sharing MIKE ~ Perfect Poem 'n Pic
          Very sad situation for the LADY ! If I'm at a Dance
          were there are WALLFLOWERS ~ I always invite
          then to Dance and then often another Man will !

          I adore HELLEBORE
          SENRYU ~ I like too !

          One of the first things I teach my Pensioner's
          Poetry Class is the essential difference between
          A HAIKU and a SENRYU ! Yours is a SENRYU !

          Please check my BOAT RACE ~ Thanks BRIAN
