The temporary relief of sunlight is clearly portrayed in this senryu. Over time one wonders whether night terrors are ever overcome.This piece of work is thought provoking and I wish you luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your poem. Hopefully it is not what you are feeling right now. But it is so true for moments in my life. To date, sunlight has usually brought much relief. I feel that the feelings of your poem are inevitable though or at least they hang as a possibility. Not much of review, but it tells what your poem made me think of. Good luck.

This Senryu was well written with great theme and imagery.
It flowed well and read well with no grammar issues as well.
Adjective Content was aligned well with Objective Content and Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
Good luck with this.

I liked your write but would have preferred the last night to have been more positive, something like 'peaceful rest ensued' or something like that. Because your night terrors are fading surely peaceful rest followed? This is just my feelings about your write, it is your write and your choice, love Dolly x

    Hello!
    Thank you for your thoughtful review. I wrote the last line as it is as a senryu usually contains irony. One would think that "peaceful rest followed," but in this case it is just the opposite.

Excellent, this one has so much to say, in so few words.

Nothing at all to fault, this is a really good poem.

Great job.

Take care.
