can only be penned by a
newly broken heart.

    I think any poet or writer can relate to this. I have so many half written pieces it's amazing. My purse is filled with little scraps of paper with lines, thoughts, even just words or titles I think about and may want to use someday.

    I can't stop reading this! It's so wonderful and so heart wrenching true!

    Another adding to my favs lol.

    Lovedddd thissss....I've written a lot of poems about unwritten poems and crumbled up paper...I love that topic because as writers we all know the frustration of trying to get something out of our system but we are too hurt to even put it to words, to finished poems....

    I love senryus! Its always interesting to see what people come up with in a few short lines...well done :)

    I can deeply connect with the 17 syllables written here. Broken hearts are terrible, I went through one about 2 1/2 days ago and my desk (and floor) is now cluttered with paper. Most of the papers are half written poems and the others are just random things I needed to get out of my head. I also finished some half written poems that started out nice and now have quite a bitter ending. Sorry to ramble.

    This is an intense and well written Senryu. I also love the title you choose. 5/5
