Comment from Jesse James Doty
I know that feeling. I have felt that way about other people I've drawn close to wishing they would not leave the instant they get to know me. I admit it is sad and lonely out here. Please get to know me before you discount me for a fool.

Thank you for the nice review. It was so good to read its kind compliments.
Comment from Saki the Artist
We've all been there and felt and thought those same words. I think youre poem is very relatable, and it's a good match for the Senryu form.
The picture you chose is lost on me. I think it's intending to be vaguely ironic, but I'm not sure at what. I think the poem itself is a lot stronger alone than with the picture, which is kind of distracting from the beauty of the words themselves.
Pretty good poem overall though.

Thank you for trying to be kind. Actually, I have a new computer and I simply could not figure out how to upload the picture. Thanks again.

A very interesting Senryu, becaise I sense a much bigger story behind the words. The photo is a thought-provoking choice to support your words. Best wishes for he contest.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. It was nice reading them!
Comment from Baltimore Born
This is a well-written poem. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is on point for this writing prompt. The words in this poem are interesting but the message is clear. Nice poem.

Bless you for not mentioning the fact that I could not wrap my brain around my new computer- to be able to upload the picture!
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
This is a lovely poem entered in the Senryu format. If I could make one suggestion regarding your piece it would be about the artwork you used. The picture is very nice but it would look much cleaner and make a better impression if you could trim away the extra words around the picture or find a picture without the excess. I enjoyed your poem. Nicely written.

Comment from Lisasview
Interesting and thoughtful Senryu poem. My only thought is that you fix the font... I am on my big Mac and the words are small and look fuzzy...
A large font and also placing the words in the centre of the page would have more impact...
Just my thoughts...

I love your thoughts and they are good ones. This is a new computer, and honestly, I couldn?t figure out how to upload and do some of the other things that would have made it better. Lol

Okay so on the page that your poem is posted go to where you edit... just
press edit... Then highlight your entire poem..
Then go to the top where you will see lines..._ three of these going up if that makes sense...
There will be three sets of these _ do not click on the first set... go to the next set and when you click on one set it will move your poem to the left and the middle one will organise and centre your poem and the right one is what you have now... that entire area is where your font size ( I usually use 22) and your font style and your colour is...
None of this is part of your computer...it is all Fan Story...
Okay I think that is it...

You got the syllable count right (yes, I counted LOL). The poem was great - I think that's something most of us have wanted at some point or another. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from teafor2
Unknown bard, this truly is a display/depiction of one man's concerns and hopes: human nature. If the "A Wish" is removed from directly above your 3 lines of verbiage it may lessen the chance of a reviewer misunder standing and possibly giving a lower rating while critiquing you contest entry. Just a thought. Good luck in the contest. teafor
