This senryu about the theme recently married, Too Late to Learn, uses seventeen syllables and gives someone a 'beauty treatment' as someone learns a sad truth about 'desire and reality'.

A very well-written Senryu about young married couples who quickly get tired of the fun wedding bed and start finding excuses to skip the lust of the other partner.

Definition of Senryu: An unrhymed Japanese poem recording the essence of a personal moment. Senryu are more concerned with human nature. They usually consist of three lines of 5/7/5 (5 kana in the first line, 7 kana in the second line, and 5 kana in the third line) totaling seventeen kana.
A good structure for beginning senryu poets is:
a) setting
b) subject and action (on two lines)
1) A Japanese poem similar in structure to haiku, but more concerned with human nature, and is often humorous or satiric -- usually in three lines of seventeen kana. They are usually written in three lines of 17 syllables or LESS.
I like rhyming but it's generally frowned upon in senryu poetry.
Best of luck.

Oh dearie me, I do feel sorry for the poor fellow!
Short, succinct, with the artwork that complements your poem.
If I could reach him, the first advice I'd give him is to reclaim all his
jewellery back. Including the proverbial family ones too, of course.
I wish you all the very best with the contest.

An unequal sex drive is the cause of many marriage break-ups! Your words show the other side of marriage, areas many don't like to discuss, love Dolly x

I just found out about this contest by seeing your post. Must be a new contest. This is a good entry for the contest. Very clever about the lust turning into headaches. Lol. But, it happens. Especially to a young couple. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this poem

Well now, that is clever. Sad, but clever. If the judges have any sense of humor at all, you may have a winner. My only suggestion would be to change the font. I had trouble reading it. Or maybe just make the words bigger. Great job though.

Thank you for your comments and good wishes, Debbie. As you suggested, I increased the font size, hoping you find it more legible. This isn't a site contest, so there are no judges, just regular FS voters, who occasionally do have senses of humor.
Thanks again.

I can read it much better. Thank you. Eyes are going. I wear magnification 3.5 readers. And, I think that it looks better proportionally.

Thanks for the reassurance, Debbie.
