Miss Merri, a great job of crafting this senryu.
I love that thought that love can draw us home.
This really makes me think of God and His sacrifice
for us. He draws us to Himself by the love He showed
for us.

aaah lovely! great complementary artwork too ... and I like the concept of "invisible chains" - with the mixed feelings about "chains" of course - clever!

Hi Merri:)
This is a correctly structured 5/7/5 Senryu with a great message about the way love draws people back to their origins.

This hold true throughout the animal kingdom as birds, sea turtles, salmon and even sharks return to their origins. Are these love chains? Perhaps not always, but I animalals that are nurtured as babies often seem to have a simb;iance of love.

So what I really am trying to say is that your Senryu fits into a universal pattern of life and I like your presentation.

Love and Irish Hugs,

Roger

    Thank you so much Roger. I really liked this review. It is true, what you say about the animals, and I hadn't thought of that, but it fits so well with what I was thinking... Love is powerful and pulls at our hearts, no matter how far we roam or go astray, metaphorically speaking.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Senryu

Love is wonderful
to find the lost.
It guides shining ways
for direction to home when
you pass the wrong path to fortune.

What can I say . It's short yet simple but a powerful message about love . Most often we forget about love leading the way. I must say the painting used to represent your poem us quite exquisite.

Nice poem and your art work accented it well. I do LOVE the linkage of love. So your poem has special meaning. Indeed, what you say, they are invisible links. You said it well and produced a wonderful poem!

You have made great use of every syllable to convey theme in this poem. It makes me think of the great Bible story of the prodigal son drawn back home by those "invisible chains."
