Love this. It is so clever. I've been gone too lone. I didn't know Alvin passed. May he R.I.P. He was a good contributor and person. I know he is missed by many. Blessings. Barbara

Was in the hospital for a few days then back and forth to hospital 2x a day to 2 antibiotics pumped into a picc. Had a bad case of cellulitis. I had to postpone surgery and have decided not to have it now. the pain is manageable with a med for spasms. Just limits me somewhat. Been a rough yr for this old bod. LOL. Haven't felt very spiffy, but doing great now knock on wood. Thank you so much for caring and Bless you mightly my friend.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I suppose this still happens. LOL. I like the references to raising the sights to the hemline. Nice and clever. Great syllable count and strong word choice. Great job.

Comment from Righteous Riter
high expectations
gazing at corporate's top floor
she raises hemline
This piece meets the criteria of the Senryu poem as the syllable count does not exceed 17 syllables. Good alliteration with high/hemline. Clear message that is short and simple.

Great word choice to convey theme.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ah-h-h-hhhhhhhh... seems little miss corporate ladder climber has deduced that her womanly wiles will help propel her to the top. More likely than not, she's probably right.
Very clever, amada.

Comment from The Death
Hi,
This is a wonderful senryu....with great wit and humor as well.
I love the satire in "she raises hemline".
Your words comment on an issue many can relate with.
Nice use of phonetics as well with T consonance and A assonance making it sound lovely.
I like how you associated with "high" expectations..lol
Really well written. :-)
Regards,
Anupam

Thank you so much for reading my work and especially for commenting in those consonance and assonances; I like to use them whenever possible...close to musicality.
Comment from rama devi
Pitch perfect senryu, dear, with superb satire. Witty and well worded--phrases in just the right order--(wink!) I bet Alvin would love the humor here. Scrumptious assonance of A in raises and gazing.
An outstanding entry, true to form, clever and unique. The six is for the irony ad satire elements so finely woven in as per Alvin's teaching of good senryu. Bravo!
Love,
rd

Comment from JM daSilva
Seduction to get to the top. This has been done since time immemorial. But it's a modest way to do so, so it's not so serious.
