A Slew Of Senryu


(Paula!! This was too hard!!! Title Courtesy of Margie)

I cannot do this
This is harder than a kiss
I think this I’ll miss

Paula why ask me
Because cannot you now see
This is hard for me

Margie gave me help
She said if you are stuck yelp
Oh my aching scalp

This is not much fun
Someone please get me a gun
Or hold back the sun

I shall be here now
Until time teaches me how
Or I have a row

It’s okay for you
You have talent to help you
All I have is boo

I can cry out loud
You see I am not too proud
I am the in crowd

Take back this bad game
It makes me cry out for shame
This is not my flame

Now this is the end
My poor brain I will now mend
And thank you I send


Marsha

Marsha this just shows
to what extremes you will grow
to outshine your friends

Thanks for this Marsha, only one critical coment to say to sunshine - why outshine your friends when by considering them your friends, you must already consider yourself lucky for them to think the same back, this makes you as good as the company you keep .
I loved the poem . You need not paracetamol, only a pen and some paper, it's the best cure for anything, especialy what your suffering from .
Thanks .

Margie girl, tell the truth, not only did i need tutoring but you practically had to write it for me. (They know I didn't do it, they all know I'm toooooo lazy for the work this entailed.)
Thanks you love, and a tanka?? I'll keel over, I will. (What if I said there was an elephant sitting on 'puter it wouldn't wash would it) I'll think about it
Oh my aching head!!
Take care love
                    Mushy
                      
Kari love, who me! Work, stretch, grow, noooooooo not me love. That's not me love. There now that's that done, so I can now use my get out of work free card. It was a get out of jail free card, but I defaced it.  
Thank you love, now i sit back and not do another stroke  
Take care love as always
              Majestic work shy Marsha
                          

Melissa love, thank you so very much, she is love she really is. And she denies the amount of time this took, but she practically had to wrap my fingers around the pen.  
Thank you muchly
Take care
                Mushy
                  
Angelswing love, I know she's a dreadful slave driver, she has me chained to my keyboard for hours. (Actually love, she's right, I really need to be made to work harder, Kari (Sunshine) just gives me the impetus I need. She does it because she is a friend, and because if she didn't I'd never do anything that was a little harder for me.
Take care
                    Mushy
                      
Charisma love, I'm going to bed for a month, at the very least, Thank you love, I do appreciate it
Take care
                      Mushy
                        
Sven love, you treacherous devil, more MORE, I'll be dead in a week. Less than a week, I'll be stretched out, you'll see, you'll find me in the gutter with my legs in the air. (Sounds like a night on the town to me!)
I don't know, tote that bar, lift that bale, get a little drunk, (there I knew that the demon drink would be in there) and you land in jail. Mutter mutter mutter

Take care you devil you
love

Marsha
slew of Senryu
Marsha you completed well
now go home to bed

loved your write of pain
Senryu is not for you
others now will smile

smiling at your write
you can make it easy seem
though you loud complain.

I think you can do
something else more difficult
I have something too  

here is the challenge
not a tanka not some prose
something harder still  

write for me Marsha
my rhyming style first and last
in poet's workshop.

Good luck and see you soon!
