Love it, Dru
Excellent, in every sense of the word: counts, directives, and intent in following in the spirit that one of the truly tangible facets of what the Senryu is meant to convey.
For me, your Senryu literally strives to express needed fervor for acceptance and the strife to be trusted and believed-in, even though the opposite may appear to be the case … I feel an overall underlying sense of frustrating futility driving it all.
Because I’m so terribly inept at deciphering and translating, I can almost hear you laughing at my interpretations. … ahhh-well, c’est la vie; but, I try.
Still, in all, you offered a perfect example of how creatively abstract expression serves so very well in exemplifying the flexiblity and vastly encompassing scope this brief, yet complex, form truly can be when utilized by the free-spirited mind.
I hope you’ll share your other amazing Senryu efforts with us here, too.
Really good stuff, Poet … thank you sincerely for joining-in and sharing! ⁓ Richard🖌
