A very well-written senryu about yourself. Money never last longer than the month. A sure sign of being underpaid. Congratulations for winning the contest. I hope the prize money lasts till after dinner.

    Thank you for your great response and for your laughter. I've always heard that laughing each day will increase your lifespan.

    Another thing that I have learned the hard way is to "NEVER" take viagra on top of laxatives. Hell, you don't know whether you're coming or going...Bill

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is an exceptional Senryu yourself writing prompt that courageously reminisces the fleeting nature of money and making love.

The work highlights how the protagonist's wife compares his making love to her as synonymous with money and how both phenomena are often short lived.

Outstanding work! Keep the flag flying!

Well, at least you can laugh at yourself, which is something some people have challenges doing so.

I can see why this poem won the contest. It is is hilarious. I love the similes/comparisons.

Great usage of syllables and word choice.

Have a wonderful week.

Some folk do spend it as fast as they get it. This is hilarious and deep in layers. Love the selected art -- I think he may still be clueless. I wish you well with the writing prompt. I am feeling my way back after being away from FanStory for awhile.

    Hey girl, how are you? Thanks for the great review, I'm glad you liked it. And, thanks for dropping by.

    How's the winter going for you? This has been the coldest one we've had in several years. I sure will be glad to see spring roll around.

    It was great talking to you, Connie. Take care of yourself and stay warm...Bill

    I'm great, thanks! I hope that you are too, Bill.

    Ditto on looking forward to Spring. Our Winter in Calgary has been the worst it's been in several years. Lots of snow and poor road conditions! Walking outside is virtually non-existent due to the extreme cold and icy patches. Let's hope it warms up sooner rather than later. :)

    Have a great day, Bill! ~~ Connie

Your Senryu Yourself poem is written with humor and good use of alliteration of l, letters, and sounds. Your artwork choice also goes well with your message. Best wishes!
