delicate beauty
struts by drooling married man --
wife finds her flaw

We see the " the misfortunes, the hardships and woe of humanity" that can lead us to burst out laughing at foolish behavior, or cause us to wonder how often such nonsense happens, and how much damage it does.

Hello Gypsy

I'm truly learning by example through reading your work. I will be attempting a senryu soon myself.

I enjoyed your take on human nature in this write. The eternal triangle is an excellent subject for gentle satire. Love the remarkable way you define characters in such a short poem.

Stay safe

Blessings Julia

Really nice poem. Good presentation. I like the notes. Yes, men love fresh meat. My husband is dreading our daughter growing up. The wife's flaw is her husband's eyes or that the girl is better looking!? Probably both.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem. :)

    The beauty of haiku and senryu is that it can mean different things to different people.

Hello Gypsy!
There is much to admire about your senryu: message, reality, formatting.
But what I truly appreciate is that the reader could apply the last line of "wife finds her flaw" to either the "delicate beauty" or herself!

Thank you for sharing!

    Yes, that is interesting. With haiku the meaning is very personal. For me, I was thinking the wife found a flaw with the young perfect beauty but it can go your way too.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and insightful feedback, I really appreciate it.

    have a wonderful weekend!

WOW! This one has earned my last 6 for the week. You have told a realistic amusing little story in just a few syllables. Yes, those wives have to be on the ready to point out those flaws! LOL!

How green are the eyes of envy! How such a simple glance erupt into emotions of lust and jealousy and a convolution of unspoken judgement!
Again you say so much in the pristine succinct way the form dictates--and with (once again) the perfect illustration!--Karenina

A very well-written Senryu about the delicate beauty who becomes the mistress of the drooling married man who cannot find what he needs from his wife who still searching for her flaws.

Strong images of all three characters. Often some women make heads turn. The jealous wife would find the flaw in the other woman and in her husband.
Congrats on becoming this month's recognized writer, Gypsy.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

A unique thoughts indeed...

Interesting. I wonder if the wife found her own flaw in not being "delicate" enough? Or did she find some flaw in the "delicate beauty" that so attracted her husband? I would think she would have found a flaw in her husband.

    The husband is drilling watching the beautiful girl and the wife found a fault in the beautiful girl out of spite or to prove she was better than the girl.

    Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback.

    Have a great weekend.
