great pairing of humorous artwork and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 format for the senryu
good alliteration in spends sleeping/snoring
many readers will laugh with understanding as they have the same problem in their marriages

This is a strong entry into the Senryu Poem writing prompt. It is well written and this presentation is great. Contest requirements fulfilled in spades. I enjoyed this. Good luck in the contest.

Had to laugh--been there! I felt that the 2nd. line was a little forced with "love." (I realize it would not meet the qualifications if it was removed). Really cute piece.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reading and reviewing.
    Senryu has multiple layers. This one has humor(which is easily visible) and the satire(blind love fades with age, and now he doesn't care about her worries).

    The interpretations depends on how one unfolds its layers and most of the average readers fail to see the hidden layer.

    Thus 'love' is significant here. I am never after the 'stars', but the review should have relevant reasons.

I love his blissfully unaware look in the picture! Your poem contains the greater truth that what often eventually destroys a marriage is the suffering in silence instead of active steps to work a problem out.

A problem that faces many couples and no answer comes unless one of you gives up and moves out to the living room.
Nice flow with great picture showing ear muffs as a solution.

Your humorous poem has the correct line and syllable count per line. The artwork is great. I enjoyed the poem, there is nothing worst than spending the night listening to your spouse snore. I exile mine to the guest room. :}

Good luck in the contest.

This is funny. My sister-in-law has to sleep in another room sometimes. My brother sounds like a chain saw. I love the humor and this is very well done.
