kindda dumb but this is all i can think off right now


Found "Passions" online
This is the day I was born
Poems is my life


sorry if that was gay  

if we are talking about my real birthday, here is the senryu for it


Crying newborn child
Felt all the pain from day one
Cursed into this hell

Acire, you should do that more often!  I absolutely loved both of them.  The first I can relate to, this is definitely my first experience where I can share my feelings and thoughts with such a vast group of individuals.
The second one is powerful and pessimistic.  I love it.  ~_^
Greatly done, Acire.  I truly think that you met the challenge well.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha The second one was good acire, but I'm laughing at your own comment about the first one "sorry if that was gay".....haha that was funny.



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 believe you met the challenge very well.
I just love your first one I feel that way also, and about your second i feel that way alot so it makes me very sad that others feel that way to. Great job though.

Very good Acire. Sometimes we all feel like that, one day there will be a ray of sunshine in your hell. Good luck!

They're both cool....I joined 6-7-99, so in that sense we share a birthday! The second one reminded me of another poem, called "Birthday," and descibing the birth of a child and comparing it to jumping into enemy territory. The last lines went, "Sentenced me to life. I guess I deserved it." LOL!

I'm not exactly sure what senryu's are (meaning how they are supposed to be written and stuff)
but these were pretty cool *L* and funny too!

Hey Mister.

I didn't like the first one very much but the second I could really connect with. Three simple lines but you express so much. You need to write MANY of these. You do them very well.  

~AF~

"Kelly's my Hero!" "No, Kelly's your heroine." "Kelly has heroin??" "What?"
