Senryu for You Too

New poetic connections with poets in the Cafe.

Genius has a rhyme
Journey to a world of words
Noodle Einstein

Frankly he's verbose
Fabian sings fabulous
Mostly rhyme, not prose

Patricia spills pain
Mourning cups of poetry
Yet she tries again

Calling to the past
Perry runs with words that howl
Writes Coyote fast

Songs do brush Betty
She paints pure thoughts of nature
We love Hermelee

Rebel with a cause
Rocks the words that roll in mind
Cowboy gets applause

Penning words of prey
The Falcon grasps thoughts that rhyme
For JE to say

Gee is such a whiz
Writing from a kingdom far
Death is all the biz

Arundass TP
Translates thoughts that grow in hearts
Words of mystery

Gurl is new to write
Now she's gone so no one knows
Her song, what it's like

Ambling 'cross the page
K. composes lines of verse
Poems that engage

Author's Note

Thanks for all the great reviews and inspiration!

It had been nagging at me that I hadn't thanked you for your review. Hard to keep up as friends increase and life lives. Glad you liked it.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Wow! this was so neat! Kind of like introducing fellow writers to anyone that reads the poem!

[William Michael Reeves]

Again you remind me of something. I'm due to do more Senryu for you. Seems I might have to do a Tanka for one pair of poets. Wouldn't be fair to try to stuff both of you into one Senryu for you. Wouldn't want one of you to get blue!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

You make me smile!

[lightsong]

Oh my!!! lol You are SO creative! really so wonderfully smartly creative! and how do YOU know some of the poets which I myself who has been here for years here don't know?! I am happy You've decides to join the Cafe. please more of these !

[Kim S.]

[William Michael Reeves]

Bill

[Betty Hermelee]

A very clever senyru... Thank you for including me! I befriended you again....
Best, B

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A great tribute to the pets in WC... I really love the verse bout me. Extremely clever.

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks. Yours was a little hard since your name used up 9 syllables and I still had to say something meaningful with the 8 I had left

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Being called "verbose" is about the worst insult one could hurl at a poet since poets strive to be succinct and illustrative.

[William Michael Reeves]

I was referring to your reviews actually. The rest is about your poetry.

[JE Falcon]

Well William, I am impressed. This was a fun read and I imagine hard to put together. :)

[William Michael Reeves]

Thank you. More fun than hard. A little research for some. Getting something meaningful in 17 syllables is a challenge. Billigami likes it! This is part 2. The first batch are back a ways. Glad you like. The more I read of everybody the more I feel like I got it right. Thanks
Bill

[Patricia]

Well you definitely have us all down, that was so much fun to read! I loved it!

[William Michael Reeves]

Glad you like! For a while yours ended Frustrating her pen. But went with the optimism and better rhyme. Only a couple thousand poets to go!

[Patricia]

You better get busy then lol and good luck with that, so ambitious of you! I’m too lazy ;) it’s a thing, maybe the only thing I do well these days lol

[Chris Shaw]
