A Mother's Day Senryu

 

They walk on water.

Even without an ocean.

That is their true gift.

Well done Dale. Mothers are a blessing for sure. Mine is now 96 ... unfortunately she has dementia and is seldom cognizant of her surroundings. Her care home has been on a strict lockdown for 14 months now. I did get a call in last week ... not sure she knew who she was talking to but good to hear her voice nonetheless.

Thanks for this.

Thank you so much. I will be praying for you and your mother.

You know the more senryu's I see the more skilful I think they are, and the more I like them. Have a great day Dale.

Of poetry I find it the hardest to write. So I enjoy the challenge. You have a blessed day.

[Chris Shaw]

They aren't easy. They might look it, but being that concise in a poetic way is difficult. Takes discipline. Have a great day yourself Dane.
