Out of Tune - Senryu

by Walter   Oct 11, 2021


Love is like a harp
You start by reading notes, but
End up pulling strings

    Oh wow!
    My goodness!
    This is raw and so beautifully mournfully true.
    The way we love - the way it starts.
    The sound of love and harps, a dream come true.
    But we often break those strings, rip them, pull them until they break and our heartstrings are broken.
    A harp is difficult to string, and so is the heart once broken.
    Raw truth in this.

      Thanks Lune for your comment! And your interpretation is exactly how I was hoping this simple senryu to be read.
