Transition

echoes from the past
empty rooms weep in silence
a new broom sweeps clean

Kind of feels like this Senryu is related to your Rendezvous poem. You swept up the echos and found something more to write about in the pile of past. I wanted to attach the two since Senryu is about the foibles of mankind and they seemed relative to each other.

Thanks Bill. The two poems were not linked in any way so I found your shared thoughts interesting. Thanks for reading.

Out with the old and in with the new, Chris. It's never the same walking past someone's room or house that is no longer there.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Lorry. I appreciate your thoughts on this senryu.

Thanks Ken. Yep plenty of ghosts coming out of the woodwork. Lots of memories, but it is all going to plan.
