Too long - Trilogy of Senryu
Don’t know for how long
I just wanted to walk out
The backdoor of life
Don’t know for how long
I waited and withered in
The backseat of life
After I’ve been freed
From soul-destructive burdens
Life’s front row’s calling!
With this poem I'd like to thank my husband for his unabated love and continued care.

I like this because each stanza works independently of the other - yet the connection between the three is sublime ... For me the back door, back seat and front row reference alludes to a great stage where the show of life takes place ... move to the front - stand & applaud ... Laugh - cry ... It's life enjoy it.
Bravo! Miss Chiyo

Thank you so much, LSP! That's exactly the development I've just mentioned in my response to Speak's comment. This poem is based on a dream I had: Being abusively imprisoned as a child, freeing myself from it by seeking and receiving help, coming back to the location of imprisonment with my back straight, head high, and the awareness of my own beauty, so long negated by those who should have loved and protected me. That was freeing! Insofar, you perfectly got the message :-). Glad about it!
Re: Too long - Trilogy of Senryu
An adorable tribute to a husband who sounds like he was the best thing that happened to you. Enjoy!
The title is a hook for readers who wonder what the 'too long' was, as your poems are not known for being over-long. Now I know.

My warm thanks to your lovely words, Solomon. My husband indeed IS the best thing that ever happend to me, as well as my children.
Hahaha! That's cute to say the title intrigued you since my poems do not tend to be over-long :-). But this one at least consists of THREE stanzas! Could that indicate the beginning of logorrea? Beware of words!
Appreciate your kind words much, Solomon!

Ah yes, we've already talked about the Victorian three volume novelists. As many of my poems are meant as haiku or senryu it's essential for them to be succinct.Thank you, Paul!

That you feel it in your heart means so much, JeJe. You do not need to say more about it since that's enough to make me happy. Thank you for feeling me, always.
