Crying

senryu

sometimes people cry -
teardrops are cheap common drugs
in case of blurred vision

or more simple (non-traditional):

teardrops -
common drugs
for blurred vision

Author's Note

sometimes we are the victims of different passions, our eyes are not enough to make us see clearly the truth, but crying can make things worse

I love this. It is a different perspective for me because just about everyone I know, including me, believes that crying makes things better. Though now that I think about it, I can understand your perspective as well. A beautifully witty senryu. Thank you

Thank you very much...teardrops are like diamonds and when you lose them you become poor.

I rather like the second one best, just my take, both are very good. This is a wonderful thought you pen. Tears are indeed cheap drugs and are reported to rid the body of toxins that accumulate. Your "blurred vision" is also an interesting concept, that the tears will clear up our eyesight and let us see what we may not want to see. It is painful to see the truth sometimes, but better in the long run.

Thanks for your interpretation :)

Blured vision, it sort of sounds like a metaphor, can't see, hard to understand, no hope. Both of them are fantastic! Well done ... Even though it's a sad topic...

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

Many thanks Sophie.

Either one is good. Crying can sometimes make things better.

Yes, sometimes, I was talking here about the other situation and the fact that we use tears when we cannot see a solution for our problems.
