Gypsy,

Congrats on your first place win with this fantastic Senryu!
I really like your second line with your metaphor -
"two brilliant blue stars" for her eyes. You have a super
satori and gorgeous presentation as well.

A lovely sentiment that well reflects what can happen to us if we are fortunate, when we are in the endgame of our lives. Well done. The picture is perfect.

I love this image, and I really enjoyed what the poem had to say about a meaningful relationship. He still sees the person within, not the craters after life's experiences. Very well written.

Gypsy Blue Rose,
Your poem is warm and sweet; a poem about the positives of aging.
This man is older, but still has a young heart. You express this very well in your beautiful senryu entry.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes for health and happiness,
Cindy

Your ekphrastic senryu is excellent and moving. I classify it that way because, without the picture, I wouldn't know what the poem is about. Very moving and appealing

This is a magical Senryu an says much about the beholder of these words as they see beyond the age of this woman and view the child they once knew, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Yes - not even the ravages of time and living can erase our spirit - our essence shines forth even among 'deep craters'- a wonderful tribute to the tenacity of the human spirit

'Window to her Soul', is short succinct and delightfully descriptive. It was a pleasure to read and review this talented poet's work. Woven through each short line are the golden threads of truth. To me this is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?
