Wow - you certainly took that and ran with it... although there's too many unanswered questions for the mind not to 'go there', aren't there? Great one, Gypsy! ;) Yvette

Thank you for sharing your horror, 5-6-5 senryu, which seems to parallel our perilous times. I admired your artwork selection as well. Take good care of yourself- Joan

A fun horror senryu ? I very much like it as you have distanced it from covid19, " apocalypse now" is a great film and way before (now) an excellent short work and I definitely get the horror, very well done****kahpot

Another fine senryu, gypsy, and scarier still with the corona virus and all--bringing the world to it's knees doesn't take much, does it? I know this isn't about the virus, but...

Gypsy,

I do like the context of this verse. While your author's note has a disclaimer, I am a bit uncomfortable with the message it conveys. BTW...good choice with your selected artwork - biochemical cocktail held by your terrorist.

While I have no suggestion to edit 'bioterrorist,' methinks 'born in Wuhan' is closer to reality, which provides another viewpoint of why this virus occurred. It is frightening to believe that there are bioterrorists out there who could concoct such a deadly disease.

And that is my two cents for today.

Mark

    As you said, it's frightening...my job is done, after all...it's horror senryu. Made in Wuhan is a play on words...made in Taiwan

    Thank you very much for your review.

    Yea, I missed your play on words!

    After thinking about it, I did change my satori and added a note to make sure people understand it's just a horrible poem.

    GBR,

    I think your revised version is more in tune with your style (-;
