Shed no tears,

upon my dying bed;

better drink some brandy


Μη δακρύσεις,

στο νεκροκρέβατό μου·

πιες λίγο μπράντυ

Yes, brandy could take away the pain temporarily. But the pain still persists if the effect of the brandy ceases. Excellent succinct write.10

I like this Senryu for its carefree expression of mourning or death. To drink brandy to reduce the intensity of a heavy pain........Kostas, you deserve a full vote....10

A well-written senryu! A good sedative for a wound, and time will do the complete healing.
