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

    • Michael Edwards

      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.

    • Lorna

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

      • Michael Edwards

        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.

        • Lorna

          Well you can do everything!

            Lorna,
            I totally agree with your perfect comments about our artist in residence! Kudos!

              Yes and I wish Michael could give me advice as to which tree I should plant to replace the pine that would be most aesthetically pleasing! Do you garden too Michael?

                I love the garden - up until a couple of years ago I used to open my garden to raise funds for local charities - we had about 440 visitors over a weekend and it got too much. Mine is a typical English village wall enclosed garden and, of course I have the added attraction of the studio which I also open - next opening is in May.

                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
