sitting in a chair
alcohol is on his breath
sorrow in his eyes


Eternal life without the darkness isn't life at all- it is a lobotomy.

wow, powerful words there. Kinda reminds me of me...
but I don't have any kids so it can't be!
I'm so damn lucky...anyways it was great work, kinda depressing though but somehow a vivid image was painted with those few words.
I can't believe no one else replied to this.

Very sad one here allan.
I liked it a lot tho.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

WOW allan,
this reminds me of
my father....
(sad sigh)
wonderful senryu
just makes me depresed though
not your fault so dont feel bad.
Just some things i dont like to
remember, but then again it is
most likely for the best that I do. Keep up the memories for us all to recall

To do anyting LESS then your BEST is to SACRIFICE the GIFT!!!

This is a VERY photographic senryu.  Is this reflective of actual events?  If so, I hope that things get better.
