I was saving this six for later, but your poem is so awesome I had to go ahead and use it. WOW!!! I am impressed with the flow and the different emotions we all share.

A truly wonderful poem! Your repeating line sits well, your imagery of the ideas that someone brings out in you is nicely varied, the verses and lines flow into each other and stayed fresh by varying the stanza length. Long poems are good when written well because sometimes you don't want them to stop. This is one of those. Very happy to have read this!
Regards, phill

This is excellent and extremely beautiful. I can't really offer any criticism, except POSSIBLY, maybe, changing either the animal in the fear stanza or the animal in the pain stanza to a specific animal (fox, wolf, bear, anything you want) just so there aren't two so close together. Really it is great though, and honestly I hate to criticize at all! I love your imagery and descriptions and the use of colors as metaphors/similes. Great job!

Debbie, this is absolutely stunning! I had just a few minutes to spare so thought I review a few things that weren't part of senryu class; and there was your wonderful poem on the front page. I love it! There is so much concrete imagery to define each abstract human emotion that I feel full. Full of pleasure, full of fun, full of healing, full of thinking, full of the love of life. I swim through sensory stimulation - soft peach petals, the strength of the lion, fire, ice, depression, storms, spice, daffodils, snow-melt, bunnies in fresh cut sweet smelling grass, and the supple willow.

I enjoy the short, tight Japanese forms - but man, I love to be taken on a sensual journey like this, and end up in awe of all of life.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Judy

Nice. You did a good job writing this.

In reading your poem, one cannot help but wonder - how many Me's does a person have inside?

Thanks for sharing this. JW

You bring out the wonder in me
the first daffodil of spring to open
beside a melting drift of snow

If I could bring out just one thing in you Debbie it would be this.

Well Done ~ Debbie

This poetry displays the many shades and pettles of Debbie.
The words are descriptive and frame a clear picture. It
held my interest from start to finish. The attached photo
is a befitting accent that enhances the message. Thank You
for your creation.
