good senryu like the image chosen reminds me of some of my poems where I reflect upon rain as being God's tears for how badly we have treated the world's envioronment

Comment from tempeste
Ciao !
I read this yesterday but the opening stanza just didn't click , I came back now and I get it ..
Well has many meaning in English and for some stupid reason I read it as being in health.
WELL here stays for:
a shaft sunk into the ground to obtain water.
The world has become a brimming well of tears but I don't see the teasing sunlight anytime soon evaporating the tears.
A creative way to describe the human condition with an optimistic outcome which I found harder everyday to believe in.

Once again, the senryu is another format that I am not terribly enamored of, yet you've used it wonderfully. Your wee poem is highly evocative. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from poetwatch
There is only one way to go, author, for life is too short, it is on loan, and it will not wait. That, "well of tears" are not only yours, thought they feel like they are. They belong to countless people that are or have been, you are not alone. This is a good entry for the Senryu Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Well written. This poem conveys vividly the message intended, highlighted by the graphic. The overall imagery was very effective and skillfully achieved its effect.

This is such a beautifully poem! For me I thought your poem captured the way a wonderful day can wash away those tears. The word choice is excellent - especially "haltingly evaporates". Really well done!

The sun magically evaporates rainy tears in your poem, leaving a dry and thirsty earth and sealing the fate of some, a poignant Senryu, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Aussie
Great presentation. Blue for brimming well of tears. We have all been there at some time or another. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones; eventually the sun will shine through. Well thought out. K xx
