I think you were very successful in the senryu. It is a new look at an old phase.

I agree with all your previous visitors. Very well done and oh so real. Thanks.

Just a reminder that your OSI prompt, spectacles, is up next week. Please let me know if this works for you!

No matter how hard I try, I have great difficulty writing these forms. In this I'm afraid I lack the resolve.

Delightful indeed.

Hey Gautami, I like it! That's why I don't do New Years' Resolutions. I like sugar pills.

Yes, ideals often look great on paper, and turn into nightmares when implemented-this was the twentieth century.
Thank you for sharing this.

Very nice!
Being a list maker, I have much experience with resolve. It is not always bitter.

Senryu, a new learning for me; from a human viewpoint rather than nature. There are many bitter pills hidden from view. Lovely.

Great pen, straight on! Thank you!
