Deep in the heart

0 posted 2006-10-30 04:31 PM


I started to do this Labor Day but ran into som difficulty.  Soooo, let's try again.

I love to write American Senry with as few words as possible.  As a result SEA often scolds me for her having to run to the dictionary to decipher meaning.

Following is a three word Senryu that I will let you all chew on over the evening and, if you do not find the meaning (with the internet that should not be too difficult a task   ), I will decipher this for you.

In the mean time, write your thoughts below and let's have some fun
=====

esquivalience
unceremoniousness
tergiversation


Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

I believe I know someone who matched you on five-seven-five syllabled words a few years ago...let's see if I can dig her up...

Hard to tell, y'know...
given the season and all...

I'll spirit her in here
sooner or later...

If you have to remove a stake from her heart, well, I dunno ....

Nancy ~
I love it
But what does the original mean, kiddo?

No stake, but other chains, I'm sure.

As to what your senryu might mean?
You've too much time on your hands, Texan!

Your Heart Beats Wildly
At every sudden swept chill
Abrupt, the gasp

I'm going to guess the challenge senryu has to do with the shy and hidden heart, abrupt in it's withdrawl.

Admit having a hard time pegging
esquivalience...so I read between the lines!
Great idea for the challenge. Enjoyed.

To paraphrase its meaning in senyru form, I'd say:

Neglecting duties
As if they did not matter
And walking away!

Is that anywhere close to the gist?

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing
