The implications made here are verywell expressed.
Mother wonders why, in my opinion, epitomises the senryu philosophy of providing emotional response. Although not cynical, ironic or humorous, the subject matter is serious and the senryu treated it with appropriate sensitivity.
There are several well written poems in this competition, but this one hit me like none of the others.
Great senryu, author. I hope it does well.
C'mon people, a senryu is not a 5-7-5 poem. Senryu does have some rules, the main one is it requires irony or satire to be present...rarely found in these entries. Learn from this one.
I think it had the best example of irony: tears and inappropriate laughter at the same time.
The first one I read. Nothing bested it. Nicely done.
I liked the comparison and just how catastrophic our choices can become
I take care of the elderly every day. I love them all.
One of the few that's, in my opinion, a real senryu.
