GRATEFUL
1.
One point eight stones thrown
mighty proud of sheckels shucked
feet and knees applaud
2.
Far off paradise
by magic medium shared
wǒ ài nǐ bàba (我爱你爸爸)
3.
Happiness master
choose your misery or bliss
true smiles can’t be forced
4.
Model of kindness
so says her teacher and peers
daughter, light the world
5.
Civil thought prevail
banishing highly placed fools
sate my thirst for peace

Author's Note
These 5 Senryu/Haiku's are inspired by the "Self-Love Haiku" challenge. Essentially a restrospective set of poems reflecting on 2018. The first is an achievement, the second a happy moment, the third a lesson learned, the fourth a proud moment, and the fifth a wish for the future.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.

Your senryu/haikus are marvelous, Gahdess. You display a wide range of emotions and feelings. I particularly like the fifth:
Civil thought prevail
banishing highly placed fools
sate my thirst for peace
I take that as political with the "highly place fools." Hopefully your thirst for peace will be satisfied. Excellent work.

Yes Sir! You read #5 correctly. Here's hoping wisdom will reign in 2020. I am through being ashamed and embarrassed.
Thank you so much Sir Crow for your constant support.
