This senryu, My Heartaches, is presented in a 5-7-5 formatting and admits that pain has been caused and that it has cut both ways.

The short forms are so much harder than they seem. I like the rhyme. No, it's not necessary but here it focuses attention on the heartache, which is the point, so --good job!

This meets the 5-7-5 syllable count and it sticks with the human condition. It is either to spark a laugh, a knowing moment, or an ironic twist. I prefer a laugh or irony, but your choice does offer us a bit of rhyme (which isn't required) but I think lends it a nice touch.

Everyone should write a poem like this to make sure they tell those who they hurt how they're sorry and if they can be forgiven. I think 'my' should've been capitalized. The picture is very interesting. Great poem!
