“no monster hidden in my ribs
no god curled under my sternum
no poetry sloppily written across bone
just muscle workin outa habit
organs promisin survival
an emptiness runnin straight thru the center
where meanin should’ve lived”Powerfully penned, 253. Excellent write my friend. The lines above are my favorite, but this write was full of great lines brother. Nice work. Appreciate you.

Okay, I’ve never written a Senryu in my life, I’m too lazy to do that. I don’t know much about them: when I saw they were difficult to do correctly, I moved on to my own difficult mise-en-scène: blowing up words and phrases until they made people laugh, regardless of spelling, context or what others thought. But I do know good, smart writing when I see, read, or hear it (my favorite), and you’ve certainly shown us you have that in spades. Or in Senryus at least. Nice work.

Thank you, Dru 🙏
I consider your expressed enjoyment a compliment that deems my endeavors ever-so deeply worthwhile and rewarding … you make teaching and sharing a pleasure.

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…Read More
