Author's Note

Word play from wherever. I have not mixed language before to write a Senryu or Haiku so I may be pushing my luck

this is really rather clever and it works very well!! :)

[Willard Wells]

Thank you young lady. I was surprised also that it came together.

I learn a few words of French a long time ago. Hard language to grasp. You said enough in the words.

Thank you Coyote. It was fun once the concept came to me.

[Coyote Poetry]

Was a entertaining poem.

You've done well with this one. The French phrase fits perfectly.

[Willard Wells]

It was one of those moments. My love asked me a question and I responded with c'est la vie and when I went to explain it to her, this came to mind. Thank you for reading and commenting. Appreciated.

You be right! Mr. Will! This is the life!

[Willard Wells]

Yes it is and thank you for taking some of your time to spend it reading my work and commenting.

Hey Mr. Wells, don't speak French but this is understandable
Like I said you are becoming a Teacher of this writing form.
Well done, I'm missing those pictures of yours! :-) thanks!

[Willard Wells]

Well I either have to shoot more pictures for my poems or I have to write more poems that match my photos. Thank you for reading and reviewing my work.

A clever little ditty of a senyru Willard. Good to experiment and try to inject interest in this brief form and this works well. Sorry but you do need one more syllable in the middle line so 'do not' would fix it.

[Willard Wells]

Thanks for the help John. I had another word that did not work and as I played with it I apparently failed to replace it. Your time is greatly appreciated.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

That is what WC is all about Willard.

I like the commentary on language here Will. So many words we 'borrow' from other languages because our native one is found lacking - either in eloquence or precision. But you have turned the tables here in a playful way. Well done my friend.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Anto. Kind of came about on a whim. This one and "Because" both came about due to conversations with my sweet love.
