A little ruse and
His ego was badly bruised
Not much left to lose
harmony flowing in this very thougthful senryu....would brush off any bruise
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.
we all basically have small egos u see, can't expect anything to be left! good read...
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.

Great lines, Sandra; flowing so harmoniously. A good writer's pen should flow with golden ink..(smile)
