You are - Quadrology of Senryu

Can feel the pain and disappointment. Stay strong my friend :), wonderfully written

At least the sham packages
delight us as long as we
abstain from opening them :-).
Thank you for feeling me.

That is very very true

Yes Miss Chi,to me it looks like you have grown, and also learned something valuable,that will if not already has made you whole,and you will...deliver.

Thank you, Hashman, for your trust in me and my 'healing'. It's good to know about other people's flaws since it's easier to brace yourself against disappointment. But we should NEVER forget that we ourselves might be sham packages for others as well.

"You’re a sham package
Unwrapped you lost your glamour
Failed to deliver"
Oh, how many times this has been lived my dear. I think often of your world and words. It is why I come back.
Thank you Ms Chi. Once again. xo

Always thankful and delighted to see you around, dear Twitch. I'm glad to apparently have touched you somehow with my poems as well as you are touching me deeply with yours. Thank you!

Like a Russian doll, some
people just get smaller the
more you delve into them...

great pieces, each of them..:)

Wow, that's an awesome comparison and so appropriate! Although the last Russian doll's just tiny but no at all ugly or disappointing if you like it small :-). But yes, I got the underlying idea and it's exactly that. Thank you so much, Paul.

My dear Tom! Thank you so much for your supportive and lovely comment! I'm thrilled you like my little "babies" :-)and apparently feel them.

Exactly, Liz, you always know what I want to express. Thank you so much for reading and liking my poems!

Great use of metaphors within a senryu format to tell an all too common but heartfelt tale in a deft way ..

... Bravo!

As I myself marvel at your skilled and fantastic poems in haiku/senriyu (and other) formats I'm deeply humbled by you kind and welcome words! Thanks a lot, LSP!

disappointment very well expressed.clear,neat and precise.
good work.

Thank you for stopping by and reading me, peninnah! I'm glad you like this poem! I'm curious about yours!

I very pleasant write as I can easily link you words to my experiences. Like many poems this makes me thinks of song, at least 3 first three stanzas. The last stanza reminds me of countless number of toys that seem less attractive after you acquire them.

Thank you, Jazz. I appreciate your kind words although I'm not happy that you can relate to my words since it means that you've made your own bad experience.

nicely crafted, Chi. the sadness of being unfulfilled...

Thank you, John! Unfulfilled but not unsatisfied. Makes a difference :-).

Nice piece sweets!!
One thing for sure, you need a new gardener!!lol

Great write!!

Sir Lancelott

Hahaha! You're so sweet! I certainly need a new gardener who teaches me to cure my sorrowful heart myself! Thank you Lance, your lovely words are much appreciated!

Very beautiful write, Miss Chi! I love this form of poetry and you are really a master in it!
Just sad, but hope you'll find a nice gardener, as Lance said!
Thank you for this text!

Thank you so much, malin, that's kind of you to say! I'm humbled by your great comment! I just love haiku and try to do my best to please with their creation :-).

I like it - particularly the final stanza.

Glad you like it! Thanks for your warm comment!
