*Please tell me which one is better or which one you prefer, thanks  


~*UNLOVED SENRYU*~

5-7-5

1)  A lonely heart weeps
    no one listens to her plea
    alone, so unloved

2)  a lonely soul weeps
    only emptiness surrounds
    alone, so unloved

Both of these evoke that feeling of despair that only the lonely know..but I personally enjoyed the second one better.  Both of them are extremely well done though!

Both are quite good indeed, but I have to agree with Alwye and say that the second one reads better. . .

Excellent...

Melissa~

Both speak of sadness
Emitted on sorrow's sigh
Alone, she does cry

*Hon, the second is the better
of the two you wrote.
You touch my heart with your tears.
Please know that I'm here for you.
Love you~

They are both wonderful, Melissa. I prefer the second as it seems to encompass any type of loneliness, not just 'no one listening'.

Hi Melissa, well I have to agree with everyone that I prefer the second one,
both are powerful pieces filled with sadness.

Hey..I liked the first one...but I admit I know nothing about senyru's...I just like the way it sounds when you read it and the emotions it stirs up.   James
