“First, I do not
sit down at my desk
to put into verse
something that is
already clear in my mind.
. . .
We do not write
in order to be understood;
we write in order
to understand.” . ~ Cecil Day Lewis

who
what, when
where, why, maybe
answers rarely agreed upon
you

Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)
.
remorse, guilt and shame
negative thoughts on steroids
fuel for depression

Poem: ( villanelle )
.
feelings that are too large to measure
those events that make the heart proud
memories that we will always treasure
ceremonies summoned to mind with pleasure
impressions remembered when on the pink cloud
feelings that are too large to measure
events easily recalled at one’s leisure
always happy to be shared with a crowd
memories that we will always treasure
gratitude and blessings regardless of the weather
more joy than anyone should be allowed
feelings that are too large to measure
the successful life changing great adventure
from the rooftops we shouted aloud
memories that we will always treasure
times that bring friends and family together
emotions with which we all are endowed
feelings that are too large to measure
memories that we will always treasure
