An Honest Question (Senryu)

by Maher   Jul 25, 2016


Why is it so hard
to bestow a hair of light
to a darkened room?

    A clever little write that certainly got me pondering.
    I have to say, this site really is seeing some quality senryu/haiku/syntuits at the moment. I think there is often a danger with these kinds of pieces to get the syllables right and simply forget the content but you and others have certainly stepped up recently.

    Hello,

    If the people within the room are blind they will never see the light. We can only hope that time will heal and help them see.

    The title ties into the main body well. The question being for ourself. Am I blind too?

    A good Senryu. Well done.

    Take care,

    Michael

    Maher, definitely an honest question and one that many people could answer honestly too. I personally believe once you've crossed over to the 'dark side' it's hard to cross back.

      Hard, but not impossible :)

    Answer, because sometimes a darkened room doesn't want the light to come in. My opinion any ways.

    Also this is amazing :) Well done!
