This is a great senyru for the contest. It has the perfect syllable count. I think you have a great chance of winning.

Everyone's entitled to AT LEAST fifteen minutes of fame, right, LOL? I mean, surely there's enough to go around that we can all have a taste. But, inevitably comes the crash, that proverbial hitting the wall...

that part of it, I can do without. Great way to take Andy Warhol's famous quote and turn it into a fantastic senryu...

Well done, best of luck in the contest!

Does fifteen minutes of fanStory fame count the same as real fame??

In your title you have a typo in fifteen
Your poem is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
I shouldn't have read the author notes right away because now I don't know if I would have figured out the reference to Andy or not - I totally get it, and I like it, but I wish I knew how fast I would have caught on without being told :-) Brooke

I was glad of your author notes for this one. I thought you were talking about a hurricane at first! I'm still waiting for my 15-minutes of fame How about you? Maybe if you win the senryu contest, eh?

Thank you, Tony.

I suspect fifteen minutes of fanStory fame might be like fifteen FanStory dollars - not quite as good as the real thing!

I love the last line. It caught me off guard after absorbing the fifteen minutes leading to desolation. But it just fits so well to the pithy message in this well written senryu.
