Littered with peel; revellers
colour blind, walk past...

    This reads more than a Senryu...much insight into this piece...
    Art of selective phrasing...10

    But some people are partially colourblind
    Some people cannot identify and distinguish colour or shades of blue--we call them teal in UK what is sky-blue catchy term in India, in Italy-Azure
    deep blue is Turquoise in UK and it varies from place to place
    pale blue is Light Teal....................in that sense
    So if some1 have had my sensibility in the dustbin of blue-i won't be worth grass littered in peel--a good emphatic write

    But your creative vision is always
    20/20, dear Mamta. Perception
    is a gift, after all. Merry Christmas.

    Love,

    Sandra

    how color blindedness can hamper the vision (and not sight) is truly captured here...loaded with meaning..your words do the magic again...
