Beautifully descriptive little box of syllables. Love the cleverness of the power in a little boy's thumb. And a half rhyme too. I might have stuck a little adjective in line 1 instead of 'the', but I can't think what.

I love the picture and the poem.

I wish I could do what your poem says: " boy lies on the grass covering the sun --
with his thumb"

I see a lot of people lying on the grass at Central Park. That is relaxation, at the same time acquiring some vitamin D when the sun is up.

Thanks for sharing.

That's cute! It's hard to imagine what 93 million miles away does to make something so huge look so small in the sky. The little boy can cover the sun with his sun! Great senryu!

I like the imagery of the little boy. I remember doing just that type of thing when I was young. Pretending to squash the sun, or to flick birds as they flew overhead. Fun read. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Loved it! I was thinking of the line from THE FANTASTICKS when El Gallo states of the lovers that instead of studying, they memorized the moon. Also, memories of lying on the grass just watching the clouds float by.

Definitely a great senryu, Gypsy. I really enjoyed your words because the showed the boy blocking the sun with his thumb. I realize that the picture wasn't the one you wanted but it was great regardless. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

That boy could well be me, I used to gaze a lot at the sky, with clouds scudding by, me dreaming of living in those clouds, flying high, and living in castles and defeating knights in battle, but her I am a land bound turkey, well done
Gypsy, blessings Roy
