they really really are!

I like these 5-7-5 senryu very much! To me is fascinating to give physical substance to ideas, non-living objects, elements of nature. I'm not sure what the embodied picture of time is in my mind... but is still leaving footprints, maybe puddles, like water, with reflected memories swirling. Anyways, Great write. Love the idea. and Very well done! Always Sincere, Tonya

Hey Leonard

Like this form and I know its a little "cheeky" but, when I read these Japanese style Haiku pieces I always try and see if I can prune them back anymore without loosing anything. For your consideration. Just read Tonyas comment and maybe I should do a little homework on these forms. Apologies for chopping. Memories times footprints left behind a steady march. have reviewed my untutored thoughts to you humbled bow my head Craig

Thank you Richard

Your comments are always appreciated. Sometimes you will find me absent from this site for a long time. It is because, I frequently lose interest in writing and feel that I will never write again but I always come back after a break. I feel that once you have committed to writing, you are hooked.

Good little haiku you've written. I'd say you've mastered this style well. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Just because you have one, doesn't mean you need to be one..." Doin' a March of Dimes walk 4/26 : http://www.marchforbabies.org/jnj7880

march of time

Leonard, this evokes a fond memory, a footprint in my mind, and time does march on. Thanks for sharing ~ ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
