Nice, Hunter... a very apt senryu... actually took me a couple of readings...the sun is just up and I need another cuppa... That's better... good ol' Tea...say, Güey ('ere in sunny Sonora, that means Dude) have you ever tried composing a Tanka...? that's the form that preceded Senryu... Harry wrote about Tanka over in The Haiku Pond, if you are interested.
