Such a perfect subject for this ancient poetic form. And penned with great authority too. (Can't believe this is your first Senryu!) Your poem reminds me of Pooh and his Pooh-sticks. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is simply beautiful. A child can create magic in their imagination. My Mother made my sister a fairy dress and when she got the wand, she said it would not work! My Mother said that it would in her imagination. An excellent first Senryu Sonya.

Full of wonder, like a child's world. The artist retains innocence too and you have created your own magic.
