Where do you come up with these? They just keep getting better all the time.
Where did you get the artwork? Definitely should have saved this one for a contest. Put a smile on my face.

LOL. Last one I put into a contest got 2 votes counting mine.
Seven reviews compared to the usual fifteen to twenty.

I've had the same experience. Reviewers can often be fickle.

Hi, Shari.
This is a great poem. You've definitely created a wonderful new word, "genderation."
You should submit this to the linguistics in charge of establishing new phrases and words. This one's great! The picture ties in perfectly with the post.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Thanks, Rosalyne. I'm sure someone more prominent than me will come up that word. But appreciate the compliment.

This one is adorable, but I don't think I'll be able to eat a gingerbread man again, unless I break off the genital section. Hugs, Lou

Hahahahaha! G'day Shari, that is just brilliant mate. Genderation gap indeed. LOL. You are such a witty person and I love that, I never know what to expect when I click on your work and you never disappoint. Well done cheers Fez

I can account of you to make me feel good. :-)

This is a very clever senryu. I likke the way you use words and when the right words don't exist, you create new ones that are perfect.
Great syllable count, human interest necessary for the senryu
Excellent humor
Great picture to poem match with an excellent frame of yellow

Appreciate the comment on the frame. I spend a lot of time trying to get the right color. A professor in college told our class that once we earned a Master's we had the right to create new words. LOL

Life always seemed pretty simple.
Man-wife............. male-female....
Now laws seem to govern the common sense of nature.
Oh well, I like your poem, genderation gap, at least now we know what to call it.

Hey, I believe I just coined a new word. Wonder if I can patent it. :-)

It is crazy, isn't it? Maybe they can make it fill in the blanks. "Genderation" is an excellent word choice. Being gay is so cool now, some may be tempted to claim they're gay even if they aren't. It's amazing what all the power of the press has done for the LGBT folks. Who would have thought that checking male or female would get so complicated? judi

Being gay is cool? Maybe if you're an adult, but I don't teens are ready to accept the flamboyant. The TV series Glee did a lot to open up their peepers though.
Hey, congrats on #3 now. I focused on poems for awhile. Didn't like being #80. LOL

reply by judiverse on 09-Apr-2015

Hi, and thanks for your congratulations. It's up in one place, down in another. It's probably best to focus on one thing instead of cramming it all in. (I tell myself.) ju

Ha! Ha! Another funny and clever senryu, Shari. Love the new term "genderations" and your gingerperson poster is spot on. 8-)

Thanks, BG. What luck to find the picture on google images.

Ha, ha, this is pretty funny. My question though, is this for real, or another media hyped mania. Look at Jenner, that gaggle of bitches has totally warped the poor bastards mind and now transgender mania is like everywhere. Still a funny poem there, Spitfire.

I have to admit that I haven't a clue on Jenner and your reference. Guess I need to get out more. :-)

Comment from Muffins

Clever and hilarious. The ridiculous of every form, even Internet crap needs to know whether a male or female eye is looking at it. What about transgender people, do they check both or write other?

Thanks for the chuckle in the morning.

What an hilarious idea--checking both and telling your boss you haven't made up your mind. :-)
