Your poem is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count for the senryu contest
good alliteration in pin pricks and fear floods and doubt/dig/dyke/decisions
excellent use of metaphor in making your point :-) Brooke

Well done. I like the metaphor od pinpricks in a dyke.Eventually a flood will appear. This is nicely done and well illustrated. Good job!

This is a deep and emotional senryu whose message is one of insecurity and the constant doubt.Humaness is obvious and this illustration is beautiful.

Senryu requirements met. I appreciated the wisdom set forth in this piece. Doubt has got to be one of the most destructive forces in the human mind. Excellent writing.

Interesting senyru, and I really feel the alliteration works in this little piece. Your last line "fear floods decisions" is perfect. Good luck in the contest, as this should do well.
