I think you've covered everything, you've said it all in your three lined Senryu. Being a teenager is awkward, difficult, frustrating and at times sad...but we ' all been there!! Great entry..

    Yes, we have been there! To be honest, I did not suffer, but at one period I did have acne LOL

    Thanks for your support for my contest entry. I prefer the 5-7-5 style poems. Longer ones are not in my poetry wheelhouse.

    Raul,

    I like the 5-7-5 poem style. Either I am too lazy, not skillful enough, or whatever to create longer verses. (-;

Complicated Lives of Teenagers

Nice entry for the Write a Senryu writing prompt. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Teenagers are very moody. Good topic. Good luck in the contest.

It's not easy being a teenager I wouldn't want to go back to that stage again. I like your Senyru and your very good presentation. I wish you lots of luck in the vompetition. Jen.

    Jen,

    We have all been there and done that LOL. I don?t recall that it was a terrible time for me, except for some acne episodes (-;

Very true. I sometimes think the phrase "it's complicated" was written specifically for teens.

The statements are concise and cutting.

The one suggestion I would put forward is to change "typical" to "clues of" or "points to". A fine line, but angst is the reaction to these things. (Sorry for being nit-picky.)

A good read. Thanks for sharing.

    We all agree that teenagers are complicated, but what about our terrible twos? children. LOL

    Both are good suggestions, which would not alter my syllable count, but would increase the number of words in my Senryu. I prefer fewer words so I will leave it as is (-; Do appreciate your review and stars!
