Beautiful Haiku poem . This simple poem tells a whole lot of stories. Every normal person can relate with the central theme of the poem- remembrances, both the pleasant ones and the unpleasant. KUDOS FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

Nice Senryu Sixteezkid. It has a nice flair and feeling in such few words. That is amazing. The picture reflects the feel and words of the poem well also. I like the colours you used and it sits very well with the eyes. It is always exciting to renew an old acquaitance.

Beautiful haiku. In just 17 syllables you've done a wonderful job of presenting a sad, but joyful image of forgotten memories that return at unexpected times.

Some of us wonder how we would react if we saw someone from our past. I sometimes imagine some reunions. LOL!! I think it is a sign of old age.

One thing we ALL have in common: getting older...Ha! And these things do happen to us. Thanks so much for your most kind review. With regards, Sue

Good job with this one, and looks like you winning the contest for the Naani poem. Good for you and congratulations as you develop your skills in writing. Very good senryu.

Cher, thanks for your very kind words. I only recently saw the votes and was surprised because the competition was steep! Very fun to learn all these new poetry forms. Thanks for your very kind review and words. With regards, Sue

I recently "re-met" a friend from high school. So many years have passed, but as your poem so gently expresses, silenced memories came to light and we are good friends again. Excellently thought-provoking. Blessings to you, Linda

Comment from Eternal Muse
What a great senryu and what astounding picture of two candles. As I look at them, I feel as if they flicker! You bitter/sweet poem leaves a lasting impression. You packed so much in those three lines. Reminds me of the words of great guru Basho, regarding haiku and senryu: "Brevity which excludes the extraneous".

I really love free-form, but have found a competitor: the constraints of these forms to really challenge me; WORD CHOICE, whittling, honing, thinking, etc. Maybe I am enjoying these because I'll never forget my English comp. lessons: every word that is irrelevent...get RID OF IT! Ha! Yes, brevity is essential even in verbal communication. Thanks so much for your most kind review! With regards, Sue

Beautiful poem about memories. Your choice of artwork is exceptionally good. Short, succinct, and profound. You have done a very nice job.

Another short one!! Oh the editor is having a field day with me. I read this several times and each time felt differently and took something else from the piece. I'm not sure about "dusty" and yet I completely understand the choice. I loved the closing line. excellent

I'm now obsessed with entering these contests to challenge myself, hence, another short one! And, as you said, you get to write 10 times the number of words in your review as the poem has - ha! Thanks for your great review...so much appreciated, as always, Sue
