I agree that we have all felt this way at some point or another. You used great descriptive words. You did a great job with the syllable count and subject matter. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Ciao !

Such a cute pic and the words you added to suggest
a bout of shyness ( when in fact it is only preening its wing)

PS: it cost me at least three contests in this format because I kept on forgetting a senryu must be unrhymed.

    Thanks for that, tempeste. I?ve learned something important. I wondered why my previous attempt got no votes. Then again, the Contest Review process should debar entry if it is invalid? Now I?m even more puzzled.

    Hard to say what the committee will do:

    Sometimes the committee gives the author a choice to edit or be disqualified

    Sometimes it just notifies and disqualifies

    And sometimes it closes an eye and lets it pass

    I think it depends what format is at play. Not sure though

    PS: I have been given the choice a couple of times to edit or be disqualified and I chose to not edit because it would have spoilt my poem.

    Best of luck ! 🍀

    Ciao! 🙂

    I see you posted another poem that complies to the requirements.

    The original poem you can still post another time with that awesome pic.


    I love the new poem ..

    The abstract artwork is nice but honestly it didn?t convey a sense of serenity in me.

    Maybe it?s the swirls .. they reminds me of Vincent Gogh?s paintings, his famous swirls coveyed his inner turmoil.

    Also black and red evoke love, lust , anger and danger.

    It could just be a personal impression . We are all different.

    Wishing you
    Best luck! 🍀

    You?re right. I couldn?t locate the original pic but have substituted a mirror image swan. Thanks. Terry.
