This senryu, As Chilly Winds Blow, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, might leave the reader thinking that a relationship has fallen apart.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the. Write A Senryu writing prompt contest. It's so romantic and sad â?¡
Good syllables count and connection between lines with great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

Thanks Gypsy.
Comment from C2
What an incredibly artful expression of the emotional experience of loss. The clever play with the word "leaves" and "uprooted" are stellar. I also love the image you chose. It's apt simplicity fits your poem perfectly. Well done!

Thanks for your review feedback Jessi.
Comment from C.A.Currie
I like it! Love the play on words with 'branched' leaves' and 'uprooted'. Is that a prerequisite of the style? (I'm still learning;-) )
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reviewing. I am no expert, but no, it isn't a prerequisite, I just like wordplay so I use it a lot in my poems, whatever form they take.

I am chilled just reading it. :) Well done on developing a meaningful verse with such strict constraints. Your choice of artwork is spot on and helps the poem have even more depth. Good luck.

A very clever Senryu - and I always like the play on words (branched, leaves, uprooted). The image is perfect to accompany your excellent entry. Sending good wishes to you for the contest.

The author's words are descriptive, interesting, are thought provoking
and creative. I like the way this author phrased these words. To me
there are different ways of understanding the meaning of these words.
The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.

Thanks for reviewing. I try to be ambiguous in my meaning.
Comment from Val Crisson
I really like this senyru, as it ACTUALLY reads like a senyru. What a beautiful depiction of a "breakup" My only suggestion is that you might want to center it for more pop. I love the way the title is presented and the lack of caps and very little punctuation

Thank you for offering a great suggestion - I changed it to see how it looks and it is definitely an improvement.

Comment from RodG
I like this clever senyru which describes a relationship that ended in fall, leaving the Speaker discombobulated.
Excellent use of the tree metaphorically to describe both him and now her. I also like how "leaves" takes on a double meaning.

Thanks Rod. (I haven't heard 'discombobulated' for years - I love it.)
