Boy, if that isn't the absolute truth, then there is no such thing. You constructed this senryu perfectly.I also appreciated the illustration.

This is so true. All the work we put into our writings (whether bad or good) should get more recognition. This is well written and well expressed. Great job!

Hi Mystery Poet

Common thread indeed ..... we all like to have some recognition and appreciation for our work.

I like the irony in your play on words. A brief touch of alliteration in 'lament/lauded" not over-done ...strong word usage. I like the "too few". Effective presentation works well with your poem. Good luck in the contest... a competitive entry. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxo

This is a well-written senryu, with using amusing and satirical self-deprecation. It follows the criteria of the prompt. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Hi,

Great poem. Simplistic photo and formatting gives it just the extra oomph to compliment.

I love your entry in the senryu poetry contest, you have done a perfect 5/7/5 17 syllable poem! I like your narrative and the great connection with the artwork! I hope you do well in the comp. Blessings, Roy.

I very much can relate to your well-penned poem;
Recognitions don't come often--I've few fans;
Sometimes I wonder why I bother, but it's still a fun pastime; the competition of contests is interesting.
