This is a very touching poem on behalf of your son. He is blessed to have a parent as yourself, who loves him deeply, writing a heartfelt poem in his honor.

You met the syllable count as outlined in the contest. Great usage of word economy. Good luck in the contest.

You say it like it is. A lovely photo and a nice tribute, nicely incorporated within the rules of Senryu.
Good luck in the competition.
My best wishes.

You did a wonderful job with the challenge that was presented to you. Your feelings are expressed well. Short and sweet. Informative and enlightening. It was a pleasure to read. I wish you the best in the contest.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. Everything looked in place.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

It is a common belief these days that until a child is actually born, it is not yet a consciously developing human being. This belief is fallacious.

"When does the soul enter the body?" someone once asked a Master.
"At the moment of conception," he replied.

When the sperm and ovum unite, there is a flash of light in the astral world. Souls there that are ready to be reborn, if their vibration matches that of the flash of light, rush to get in. Sometimes two or more get in at the same time, and the woman has twins, triplets, or even more.

It is important, therefore, to come together physically with an uplifted consciousness. That flash generated in the astral world reflects the couple's state of consciousness, especially as they felt during the moment of physical union.

Lovely senryu.
Good luck to you.
~Dean

    Thank you for your lovely review and for backing me up that souls can be reborn. I do believe that some souls continue to travel through time bonded together. They may just be friends, or have a familial relationship. Sometimes they are female and sometimes they are male.

This is a great contest entry. The picture is awesome. Good job on the style of the senryu. You have a super message included in so few words/syllables. Thank you for sharing.

Best wishes in the contest. Jan

So much said in so few words. To have a beloved son to praise is a gift to the soul. You have expressed this so well. Your son a part of you forever. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for sharing.

A very well-written senryu. A good relationship between parents and children is one of the most important rekationships, and when they can declare each other as good friends are wonderful.

There is no gap in relation between father and his son, for reasons unknown, through the spell of time, as it appears, they feel so, their souls have flown and joined each other; crux of relationship, I liked.
