FROM PASSION TO ENCHANTMENT

Michael Edwards

 

 

FROM PASSION TO ENCHANTMENT

(A Journey in Senryu Format)

 

 

Uncontrolled passion

Unwelcome by intrusion

Shadows of evil.

 

Engage self constraint

A master of eagerness

Patience brings rewards.

 

Visions are summoned

From seas of oblivion

Seeking catharsis

 

Exalting pursuits

Thoughtful attentive gestures

Virtuous custom.

 

 

Floating in slumber

Undisturbed relaxation

Spells of enchantment.

    Good senryu write Michael.

    Just one thing the second line of the first senryu should it be unwelcomed, there is no d on the word.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - not sure about the \'d\' Unwelcomed = not asked as in a guest who was not invited. Unwelcome = not wanted. Must look further as you\'ve now got me thinking.

      • Michael Edwards

        Just googled it and a lot of confusion out there although 'unwelcome' seems to be more in favour. Will dig deeper when I have time.

        A fine write Michael, if we ever get past the first line: 'Uncontrolled passion'. Swoon! lol.
        Some poets get niggly when I put 'alway' instead of 'always'. It can be poetic licence, to get something to rhyme with 'say', 'day', etc.

          You can a degree in poetic licence - and I'm licenced - My No is 4863321

          Thanks MICHAEL ~ The sphere of SENRYU
          is infinite even stretching from
          Passion to Enchantment !
          No. 2 is my favourite I always exercise
          Patience especially in LOVE !

          I love the PULMONARIA the BLUE
          ameliorates the GREEN !
          I once went down with PULMONARIA
          But apart from a WHEEZE
          I'm fully recovered !
          Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN !

            I like the senryu formats, especially the last one. Beautiful pictures! Keep sending them, I'm stuck in winter!

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes I love this format as well - I'll take some more photos today as I've now posted all the last batch.
