Hi
This senryu gives strength and hope to all 'handicapped' people that they can do whatever they aspire to.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Joan

You are most kindly welcome. I find this happens more on my phone than my laptop.

Your senryu was inspiring! You got the syllable counts and subject matter correct, and the picture you supplied fit the poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco

Excellent

This is a powerful and evocative senyru! The image of the "one-legged battler" vividly captures a sense of determination and strength. The choice of "stomped" conveys both the physical effort and emotional resolve of the character. The specific mention of "all twenty-six miles" grounds the poem in a concrete achievement, adding depth to the struggle and triumph. Overall, it's a compelling portrayal of perseverance
