Silent spirits soar

Surrounding my soul with light

Sweetest memories



May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

(smiles) Oh Kacy, this is a gorgeous senryu, sweet friend, this is the first one I've seen in here and we sure can use such gorgeous senryus in this wonderful book as this would certainly light it up! (kiss on cheek) This is scintillating, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you, Noah.  Yes I would love to see more haikus and senryus in here also, as this shorter style would allow more poets to be included within these passionate blue walls.

Big Brother Ron, I think there should a section in the anthology where it's just short poems like this one. What do you think?

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.

Indeed those would be sweet memories--but you should look around you now! There's a heavenly host holding you in gentle surround!

Just love the consonance and wording of this.  Who says Senryu aren't deserving of a little further technique than just counting syllables, eh?  

Very nice work.  Sweet memories indeed.

Kacy,
Short and to the point. How did that happen? Gets my vote!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I see I didn't comment on this the first time I read it -- I think the book should have a section on short poetry -- this, haiku, cinquain and the like, and this poem belongs in it.

Kacy - I'm going to vote for this senryu, but you have GOT to understand that senryus bring out the kitty-kicker in me, and I can't stop my toes from tapping.  Please, please, please don't make my Mr. (Kitty-kicker) Hyde come out.  OK?  I'm trying really hard to be a good boy and not kick those little ktities.

BTW - I love your senryu.  It is very tight.
