Read More“More Than Scribbles” The pen does not speak— it holds its silence in a chamber, a reservoir where sentences float unformed, dark rivers stalled before the mouth of paper. Each droplet is a thought waiting for gravity’s compunction, a poem in liquid pause, its capillary compression held at the narrow...

Oh, thanks for the heads up, FD. Didn’t even notice that, at first. Still exploring how ‘thought on thought’ could be so compelling 🙏🏻🕊️

Superb work. Tremendous.

Well, Thank you, Thomas. Superb, huh? Tremendous, too? Two out of three words that are pretty damn good. I don’t know about that third one, though. That’s one word I kind of like to avoid. But I sure do thank you for the other ones. You know, of course, that there’s a version with words, too. Just in case you might want to read it sometime. Hmmm, I think I’ll start adding a link to the text versions of these audio versions, just in case some folks might want to take their time.
Thanks again, Thomas,
FD/K

SPECIAL NOTES:
[example 1, of course, violates the no rhymes rule, but I wanted to show it anyway as a possibility of using the basic Senryu format’s flexibility]
