Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This senryu, A Tribute to Father, has a 5-7-5 format and sends up a nice tribute to a dad who pased on the character trait of integrity. Here's to Dad.

His integrity,
iron to hardened iron,
ever sharpened mine.

Beautiful picture to capture the essence of your well chosen words.

Well done

I nearly entered this contest myself to enter a senryu about my father. After reading this, I glad I decided not to and save my funny money.
Loved the photo, and the senryu itself is perfectly composed.

A very well-written Senryu and tribute to a father with integrity who only do the best to encourage his children in the best way he could. A really good father to his children.

I like this poem and the artwork that is accompanying it. I learned so much from my father. He sharpened me in many ways. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to reading more of your work.
