A very well-written Senryu with a very true statement. Our little children grow up too quickly, and we have to saviour the moments we have them while they are still small.

Very nice visual. Senryu poems are usually humorous or satiric, but that wasn't in the rules for the contest and you did follow those rules. I like that complete thoughts were used on each line and that no phrases were cut in the middle. I also like the sentiment of the write. Thank you for promoting your entry. Good luck!

This is not only is it a great example of 5-7-5 poem, but the picture emits such Joy and happiness. -- and the message, to relish each moment we are given, is so important.

You've touched me. The baby picture does it. Did you draw the picture yourself? Your words ring true for those of us that have raised children. Good job.

    Thank you. No, I?m not an artist. I loved the picture as well and can?t believe it is a pencil drawing.

Love this... love that last line, "savor each moment" This is a beautiful sentiment and oh so true! Everyone should heed this advice! This is a terrific contest entry! Beautiful picture and wonderful presentation too!

time; we definitely need to
"savor each moment"

Words to live by. My wife and I raised to sons. The only advice I give new parents is to enjoy and savor each stage. They grow so quick and you can't get it back. Excellent. Hugh

Your senryu will appeal to any writer on FanStory who is also a parent. Indeed, babies and then toddlers and then children all grow up too fast. Your picture enhances your message beautifully.
