Thank you, star. I hope you're keeping well. |
Fantastic senryu! The purpose and determination felt in this, the connection to nature and extension to all on earth, was inspiring. "re-dressing" made me think of "re-inventing", but in a subtle way. Keeping one's dignity and uniqueness, yet altering certain things, working on one's character in a way to further growth. To not stray from who they really are, only draw closer and understand their direction in new ways, if that makes sense. |

It certainly does make sense, MA, as all your commentary does. Thank you. |
This is epic. For me this meant a lot from my own perspective, it will lose all and then redress itself again ..the title says it all. I was deeply touched by this senryu, it honestly speaks volumes with little words. I wish it was mine. |

As soon as i read the title the first thought that came to mind is shedding old skin. This can be related to many things in general, trees (as you wrote) shed their leaves when they get cold and when the sunshines for spring they are renew. Snakes shed their skin as well. However |
