A little ruse and
His ego was badly bruised
Not much left to lose
Another excellent senryu, Sandra. Have you ever noticed that a man's ego can be bruised a lot quicker than the ego of most women? Cute poem! Carl.
harmony flowing in this very thougthful senryu....would brush off any bruise
Great lines, Sandra; flowing so harmoniously. A good writer's pen should flow with golden ink..(smile)
We do hate to lose face. Even a dog knows when he's being made a fool of! (smile)
A very amusing Haiku, our ego's are source of lots of trouble.
Good.good.good! A little rhyming always make a haiku or senryu sound better, though haiku specialists say rhyming is not necessary in haiku/senry.
