Fantastic senryu to begin with.....Any format is limitation to our creative thinking yet at times it does help us in certain manner.
Thank you Asim.. I had not tried this at all.. I hope I get better at it - :)
First attempt, so beautiful and amazing! I am waiting for many more in future. Come on.
Thank you Akhtar sahab.. I will try my best do follow this up with more - :)
I need to express my gratitude toward Wes Voglar who suggested me to correct the title from 'Senryu 1' to 'Senryu 1 - Ashen Hair Submerges'... And now, I wait for Kelly's comment... Com'on Kelly, telly me what you think of this effort! ! !
A precise description of old age that is a period of nostalgia. An old person is thinking of the past even in the midst of children's noise. To use autumn as a metaphor for old age is spot on. As for senryu, frankly I know nothing about that. I can only comment on the feel n essence of the poem. well done Mondal.
Thank you very much Nosheen.. Frankly, I, too, have no idea about metrical poetry in details.. But I am just trying to figure this out.. In an unknown territory/ I walk moody and solitary [just forced rhyme] :)
I know next to nothing about metrical poems myself, so I can't help you out in that regard. What I will say, is that in 17 syllables you've achieved something of beauty. That, in and of itself, is commendable. Well done sir
