Embers

Embers (double Senryu)

A glowing ember
In the burn barrel of life
The flames that once were

Like the flames of love
That could produce so much heat
Now just memories

    Welcome Stephen, I have not written a single senyru by far and here you are writing a double one in your very first post.

    Stephen, just one word: beautiful!

    Especially the second half of the senyru.

    These days I am writing about the memories too..

    Hello Steph, welcome to the site. A heartfelt first post with great depth. Enjoyed it. Yes, I do think that losing the caps will add a different flare to this one.
