That's A Big, Fat Tree! Poem by Tom Billsborough
That's A Big, Fat Tree!
"Lack of exercise, "
I cried. The old oak barked back:
"How old are you, Jack? "
some nice comments. i was not so perceptive. glad your cat approved! i don't care if it IS Senryu, i still like it. to MyPoemList. bri :)
:) This brought a smile to my face...wow! not only a senryu, but rhyme, and alliteration as well. Beautifully composed!
Actually I was trying to get the tree to say he was seven hundred years old, but couldn't condense it into a senryu. So I just implied it! My cat liked it being a non-exercise freak!
