Passionately penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend, this had a little R&B sass to it. Dig it. Nice arrangement with the rhythm section driving the vehicle as an accompaniment to these bars you’re slinging. It’s Fire!! Appreciate you.

WHOA!!! Willow, this is 100% passionate, sensual… sexy!!
Love this line: “fire infused and filled with intention”. I swear, as I read this line, I could feel Heat spreading out from the computer screen and melted my keyboard. WTH, now I have bandaged fingertips…😎 now where did I put that fire extinguisher??!! Loved the music and singing.. I give it 100 snaps, 10 Hell Yeses, and sway the hips danceable!Curt

With the whole picture you draw me in.Keep on keeping on, said Curtis.
Warm regards, Gus -

You’ve strung together the notes of pain very well. Perhaps singing the blues can be just as cathartic as writing about them. We can only hope.

Those solem moods are tricky. We can’t always keep them locked down. And then others feel the dark coolness of their touch. Beautifully written, Brenda 🧡

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]
