I mourn innocence
trapped within my youthful faith
a bee in amber

    Larry, what can I say other than you write this form so perfectly. You say so much in so few lines and though it is short it is well thought out and executed beautifully.
    All the best,
    Em

    A wonderful write, Larry, that I suppose could straddle the senryu/syntuit forms except (from my understanding) your use of the word 'I' which isn't typical of the former.

    "Bee trapped in amber" - brilliant.

    All the best,

    Ben

      I think it must be a syntuit because it describes reflection rather than makes an observation

      Thanks, Ben
