Oh yes, some blind dates the windshield wipers might just do more talking than the couple. LOL That would be a horrible Valentines date. I enjoyed reading and found humor in this poem.

It occurred to me when I read this, that on a blind date, there can be a lot of silence, and wipers do cut through silence, I liked the black in your background too- reminds me of blindness. Dove

Ugh. There is nothing worse about being single than a blind date. Sometimes it can change how you feel about the one who set you up. Lol. Is this really the best you think I can do? I asked someone that once after they set me up. The date and I had nothing in common. I made my grocery list while he droned on and on about how he'd disown his daughter if she ever got fat. No thanks. Lol. He had a tiny bald spot that he tried to cover by fluffing the thinning hair around it. I asked him how he would feel if he went completely bald. He suddenly had an appointment he'd completely forgotten about. What goes around comes around. Gretchen

    Hahaha... good for you. I hate that kind of guy. I went from bad relationships through my life and every time the relationship ended I felt apart.... thinking "see I always knew you are unlovable". Bipolar didn't help either. After my last relationship, I was alone for ten years. It was bad. My exhusband was the love of my life but I was wrong.

    Anyway, I'm taking medication and living with my daughter and grandson... it's impossible to be depressed around him.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

I like this one a lot, Gypsy. The silence says so much. It is really humorous or so sad... depends on the way you look at it. Well written with a punch and a fabulous verse for this Senryu.

I've always found windshield wipers to be great conversationalists when something isn't going exactly as planned.

This is a most entertaining senryu so thank you for the chuckle. :)

Lol. Oh dear. I guess the blind date didn't go so well. I really liked "wipers slice the silence" as the conversation wasn't happening. The two must not have had anything in common. Well told story in so few words!

Hi Gypsy, Well done; well said. I've never gone on a blind date, perhaps I've been lucky. However, I have heard some horror stories which would explain the end-of-the date silence. Great artwork choice. Xo. M

Oh, do I know that feeling. Blind dates are horrible, and the silence is almost tangible. I also like the picture you supplied to accompany the poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
