Sounds so like the first verse of a great song..."butterfly kisses"- so sensual..,"she found me again"- yay! Perfect Senryu.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Butterflies are amazing creatures, aren't they? I rarely see them, but when I do they truly engage me with their beauty and loftiness...just like this!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Kelly...and yes, they are amazing...as in the title of that wonderful movie "Butterflies are Free"--

Treasured reverie captured in a lovely senryu.
Here, familiarity hardly breeds contempt.
Very nicely done, Jacob-san!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

splendid ink that vividly weaves a tapestry of a flight of fancy of romanticism, leaving one's heart to flutter....beautifully written.

Illusion: a visual fallacy..

A thought triggered by a nudge perhaps, a nudge triggered by a thought perhaps. Words that jumped into your mind and reminded you of the meaning of succulent youth. Perhaps. Glorious and blissful, right or wrong, jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, em...really appreciate your thoughts.

isn't it odd ;) that only yesterday when i went out with my dogs i noticed laying on the ground the two wings of a butterfly ..black and yellow spotted patterns .. and thought how no one i know of has written a poem about their destruction ... any way .. not sure that applies here but i think its one of those "connectedness things .. the senryu in seeming opposition to the title lends a whole lot of the story ...such a thrill to be reengaged yet once more an illusion ... ;(

"“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man ... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity." :)

[Bare trees]

The poem depicts a love that has once again reunited. The title tells a different story. The hard truth that fantasies often replace disappointments and needs. Loneliness is a difficult pill to swallow when you are alone, and the pleasing, happy fantasies, dissolve in the cold light of day.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your insights, Glass Moon.

The title is wonderfully evocative, and the senryu is the just-so form for this, as it is so well-tailored to that certain breezy dreaminess that Spring and love, be it real or illusory, seem to bring down upon us.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, W.k.
