Comments : Oh to be like them.. (Senryu)

    I love haiku's. I used to write them all the time and now I just don't. But anyway, I think this is more of a tanka. The same style as a haiku, but written about emotion. As a haiku is supposed to be written about nature.
    Anyway, I liked this. It came across as fresh, and left me with a smile on my face.
    This is relatable and the middle line is descriptive and unique.
    Sorry there isn't much more I can comment on this, but I sure enjoyed it. (:

    Well done,
    Tammie.

    I love this type of poetry because it makes your think more about the meaning than when it is displayed by actual words. Good job 5/5
