    Ingrid,

    Syllable count right.
    Good title.
    Strong mess.....

    No, I'm just joking - I wouldn't dare to presume to offer you any advice on form. This is an excellent senryu which I enjoyed.
    All the very best and I hope you are well,

    Nicely done.
    I can't say much more then what has been said. You were able to say so much in a difficult form .
