Nice quote from braveheart.
The senryu was very thoughtful for yer friend and I liked it.....showed how you truly feel.



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

i think i read somewhere they are not supposed to rhyme, i am not criticizing you, just giving some information to you for future reference, i still loved it no matter what.

senryus CAN rhyme!
what are you talking about?
BONUS if they do!

seriously, Jeremy, we are aware that you don't have to rhyme.  you don't -HAVE- to, sure.  But who cares if they do?  It's just a nice little bonus.
Are you saying that a senryuist (i'm sure that's a word) has to -avoid- rhyming in order to create senryu?  I'm sure this is not the case.
You don't have to, but sometimes it doesn't hurt.
And you definitely don't need to avoid it.
