(I mentioned earlier that I write a senryu every morning, to unwind.
I wrote this one today, and it seemed worthy of sharing with you.  ^_^)

All your fancy lies
staining the walls of my den
still you call it art

You did a really good job of writing this, senryus and haikus are cool

Looking at your post history, Lakewalker, i see that you also enjoy Haikus and Senryus.  I love the restriction of three lines and seventeen syllables.  It makes you really work for words.  Restrictions always bring out the best in me.
Yours are very excellent, may I say?  I especially like 2:24.  I write a few poems from insomnia... all the Senryu thinking must have put you right away.  For the sake of knowing, did you sleep that night?
I will continue to write a senryu every day.  I'll share all of my best with all of you.  I hope that you do the same, Lakewalker.

Ok this was amazing. Wonderful senryu! I loved it. Very very very good Allan. I'm impressed.

Yes amazing... Quite good.  I think I just gained a new respect for senyru.  I never liked them much because I never seen much done with them, but this one is great it makes me want to try them again.

Allan: Nice piece of writing here. I love writing with restrictions too. It challenges you more...and with such a short attention span like mine, that can be nothing but good.  

Working with seventeen syllables sounds like fun. Maybe I'll give it a try.

You know, I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even have trouble sleeping at all that night.  It was about 11:30ish if I remember right, and I wrote it about other nights when I just lay in bed trying to get to sleep but it just doesn't happen.  I was thinking of what time would be good to write for the poem and 2:24 just seemed catchy to me   So now you know the story behind that one.  Thank you for the complement, I haven't written any senryus or haikus in a long time.  I guess I could try to start again, and maybe post some for everyone   I think that it's great that you write these everyday, that's another thing that I should probably start doing
