This made me smile. Feeling your glasses with an empty sky is certainly a thought to ponder over! (smile). Great senryu with excellent visuals, imagery and presentation.

I wish I had a six but my larder is empty.

Much enjoyed, thank you for sharing.

A great senru poem. I hope you enjoy writing your poems. Enjoy life to the fullest. It is fun to read other's thoughts, emotions, feelings in their poems.

after getting fired ...
we fill our wine glasses
with empty sky

Employers suck the life out of us, and leave only empty souls. We can try to support our friends, as best we can.

Yes, indeed, after getting fired, there's not much to celebrate and no reason to fill the glasses with other than empty air. The betrayal is too great. I loved this senryu. Ulla:)))

This is an excellent rendering of words, akin to the sentiment 'we live on fresh air'. It is of course a much more delicately and beautifully written sentence, and provides the reader with a delightful poem to study. I think almost everyone could find something appealing in this one.

"After Getting Fired", is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

There is a sense of emptiness when we receive this ultimate rejection in life and we have time to reflect on how it all happened and what the future holds, a fine Senryu, love Dolly x

There is certainly a sense of emptiness or "empty sky" with nothing on the horizon after being fired. Normally one would either celebrate with wine (freedom?) or console oneself. A very thoughtful capture of conflicting emotions.

This is really good, Gypsy. It's optimistic, in the glass is still full, but rather than wine it is with sky. Not as nutritious as the wine perhaps, but perhaps spiritually filling.

Excellent senryu with just the right amount of humour.
