Your poem is in good senryu form, Bill. Your satori line reflects well on the first two lines as it explains how a reader's response to what a writer puts into his work makes all that work and emotional sharing worth while. Brooke

You have painted a vivid scene and captured strong emotions in this 5-7-5. Your satori is quite effective as well. Your picture choice is thoughtfully synergistic as well. Best wishes in the contest. -Joan

I'm reading all of these senryu entries and enjoying them very much. I love senryu and love when they are written well. Your is excellent with all of the elements of a well written senryu and a great satori (loved the paradox and irony between the writer misting up and the priceless tears). Best of luck in the contest. Hugs, Sue

    Hi Sue - I very much appreciate your kind feedback. I like this form as well, perhaps for a different reason. My passion is writing stories and I like the discipline you learn from these short forms. So few words. Regards ....

I love this. As writers, it takes courage to open the depths of our souls and share those depths with others. That others would see, understand, and weep with us is beautiful! Patricia

this is very well written with good form and good flow, a great senryu about how it makes a writer feel when tears flow when reading his or her work, good luck in the contest

Very powerful little senryu! Your picture compliments your piece perfectly as I can just picture him pouring out his most precious thoughts and weeping from the nostalgia of them.

Very nicely done :)

An excellent example.
Rich imagery which survives long after the poem has been left behind.
Loneliness and grief are apparent and heavily embedded in each syllable and also the quiet selfish sense of a writer almost reveling in misery as it offers material.

Mystery Poet,
your art work is lovely and your senryu is rich in imagery. Effective use of alliteration with the S words. Your senryu is in great form and syllable count of 5/7/5. Effective satori line. You poem is an excellent entry in the Senryu Poetry writing prompt.
Missy.
