I like this senryu and that it's a daydream. I thought this an original idea for the prompt and excellently written. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for the contest :) Lise

Great little 5-7-5 from the sensuous side of the aisle. Enjoyed the -7-5 words spoken and words not spoken!
Good luck in contest!

Welcome to FanStory--I hope the site fulfills your goals for membership. I enjoyed your 5-7-5 and the mood you captured. I liked your inclusion of alliteration and strong satori/comment line. -Joan

    Thank you for your kind review. I am also hoping this site will help me improve my writing skills and get some much needed input on my work. So far, it has not disappointed me. Okay, I also want to thank you for adding a new word to my vocabulary: satori. I had to look it up. What fun. :o)

This one certainly left me grinning.

Yes, this is my idea of a grand fantasy:

Warm bodies, cool satin sheets
A work day fantasy

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But hope you have time to edit it.

    Geez, if you can't trust your syllable counter. I ran this through 3 times and it came out correct.

Hi the author

Wow, a great message for those who are stuck at a desk all day dreaming of 'inside of the bed, er sorry, I mean outside of the computer screen 'box'.

An enticing senryu that warmed the cockles of my memory, LOL.

Good luck, Pete

Much better! Glad you could fix it. I'm upgrading my rating.

Love in the afternoon (6 syllables)
Warm bodies, cool satin sheets (7 syllables, ok)
A work day fantasy (6 syllables)

Oops! The contest calls for a 5-7-5 senryu, but yours is a 6-7-6. Hope you can fix the first and third lines.

    Geez, if you can't trust your syllable counter. I ran this through 3 times and it came out correct. Guess, it's time to use the old brain pan, instead of the machine. Thanks

    Sometimes our brains are better than the machines we use!

    Thanks for pointing out my error. I
    kept thinking I had too many syllables but the machine kept telling me I was okay. I know better than to trust a MACHINE. I did go back and attempt a fix. Thanks again. You were too kind to not slam me.

    Thank you for the upgrade. I really do appreciate it.

I really enjoyed this. Typically, this is not my favorite style of poetry (certainly no disrespect intended to you), but I've caught myself in similar daydreams, as I'm sure most have. It made me smile. Thank you.

A very poetic senryu about love in the afternoon fantasy during a work day. You have here human emotion combined with day dreaming and vivid fantasy. Good luck in the contest.
