Actually that picture is rather scary but a second opinion is hilarious. So you're right we can view the same picture differently. Good use of rhyme in your senryu. Best wishes in the contest!

I can see how this could ruffle some feathers but for me, I found it humorous.

Your choice of photo clearly showed your intention on perspective, it may come off political, which is a white hot topic.

This is a great example of a Senryu verse.

Looks to me as a fit to the Senryu form, correct syllable count and points to an aspect of human nature that we see all too often. I just walked my dog in the park and saw messages on T-shirts that were just strange. I don't know if you'll win your contest, but you won a smile from me! Bill

No offense taken by any means. I'm as patriotic as they come but also a realist.

Anyone who does that to their hair doesn't show a sign of patriotism, only insanity.

Oh well, I said what I said...

Your poem was a good one for the picture.

Cheers,
John

Ha ha! I think the art of laughing at yourself is one of the best qualities to have! I love people with a sense of humour and you can't have that if you take yourself too seriously. The ego just won't allow it. Your verse is great fun with a lovely message that echoes your notes. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

I think your poem is fun and honest. You show a man dressed in a silly wig. We don't know the context of his disguise. He seems to be both silly and patriotic, and equally intent on both!

Take care,
Rhonda

This is fun and I enjoyed reading and pondering whether or not I am a geek or not.
The geek squad would probably laugh out loud at the picture of a young person with patriotic hair all red white and blue to be exact. I love this and hope you win the contest.

This senryu, A Talk with Your Inner Geek, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, looks for a happy medium between looking silly and being a proponent of something important.

Thankfully, we all look at things with our own perspectives, and few see things exactly like all others. But isn't it great. For if you all saw things in the exact same way, wouldn't it make for a dull world. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Ric, I love that you picked up on the meaning of this as it shows two different perspectives from the same person. I think we all have inner-others that change for us throughout our days. Depending how we are at that given moment. Maybe it was the inner-geek in me that found the humor in it. My kids will tell me, mom you are such a geek, and I always say thank you.

    Thanks my friend for the kind review and comments.

LOL. If I could paraphrase a line from my friend Ricmyworld. I wouldn't know a Senru from a sorbet, but after reading the definition in your notes. I think you have nailed the human condition of stupidity! Well done. Terry.
