Well, put in straight to the point. I totally agree with you.
I remember you talking about that woman I'm glad you're finally done with her.
Have a good night!

Yes, I remember mentioning my ex-boss, ex-friend to you.
I think others can connect to it.
A warm thank you for the extra shiny star !

Your poem speaks truth to those who will listen to it. I like the take you took on the challenge. The voice of your poem is strong and clear. Good luck.

where do you come up with this stuff? Nice work and is a reminder to everyone that there are those who burden our hearts and minds unnecessarily. Thanks for getting those challenges in front of us.

Non e' farina del mio sacco ..... literally translated: It's not flour from my sack .... it's not fruit of my labour.
It's an expression I have come by many times over the years here in my country.
I have never come across it in English, though.
So really I don't deserve the extra star. Sorry (sigh)

Yes - you finally got rid of the toxic waste. Congratulations. Sometimes it has to be done - to protect self and family. It is nothing to be ashamed of but be proud that you got your own back. A perfect picture to add to this empowering senryu contest entry sprinkled with alliteration. Well done and best of luck in the competition.

Thank you for the kind feedback.
I do feel stupid looking back but at least she is part of the past now.
Thanks for sharing!

Oh wow! No wonder you feel aggrieved and this post would be a great message to send to her. You still manage to introduce fun and a light-hearted tone in your senryu (sound syllable count) which, in my view, is a strong contender for this contest. Good luck! Debbie PS I just wanted to say how your post resonates with me today - I'm going to do what you say and cut her off (politeness gets you nowhere!). Thanks to my favourite!
