Congratulations on your well-deserved win. You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this dryly humorous piece. Many will be able to relate to. I can.

Excellent question. Do we ever need to get it "right?" Or are we one of the many who serialize monogamy, skipping merrily from one relationship to another, not ever needing to get it just 'right'? If we have a few good relationships in our lifetime, maybe that is enough? I like the picture of the knot tied just so to emphasize the message. Thank you for sharing your point of view on marriage.
Take care,
Jesse

    Hello Zanya.
    I think you guess right. A short story on the subject would draw a lot of attention, I believe. Just a thought. I am glad you liked my review.
    Have a pleasant day,
    Jesse

The author's words are engaging, interesting, clear and creative. I found
this poem to state what is so true! This short poem says a lot. The
artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.
Have a great weekend!

This is an extraordinary answer to this senryu prompt, you've solved the question of all broken relationships, just tie a knot and wait for the answer. Well done Zanya, good job, blessings, Roy

What an appropriate poem about so much of today's outlook on marriage. Very creative idea, with the image you chose complementing the poem perfectly. I see you won the contest - congratulations!

Hello,

I pray you are doing well during this global pandemic, and chaos in our world. This is a cute and hilarious Senryu poem. Great imagery of the "tied knot." Having more than one knot would have been cool also. Then, your poem's message is too cool and very cleverly written. Getting married again is always a challenge in itself, but how many knots does it take to get it right? So, funny!! Well-done. Poem's requirement met.

Haha, I enjoyed this short five seven five Senryu. I'm too young to be married myself, but I still understood the humorous message. When people are married five or six times, it definitely springs to mind.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about just being married for another time after several marriages failed before some people never give up trying, the best feeling is to be just married that wears off after time and some need to have that feeling over again.
