Too long - Trilogy of Senryu

Thank you, Speak! You're a witness of development!

I like this because each stanza works independently of the other - yet the connection between the three is sublime ... For me the back door, back seat  and front row reference alludes to a great stage where the show of life takes place   ... move to the front - stand & applaud ... Laugh - cry ... It's life enjoy it.

Bravo! Miss Chiyo

Thank you so much, LSP! That's exactly the development I've just mentioned in my response to Speak's comment. This poem is based on a dream I had: Being abusively imprisoned as a child, freeing myself from it by seeking and receiving help, coming back to the location of imprisonment with my back straight, head high, and the awareness of my own beauty, so long negated by those who should have loved and protected me. That was freeing! Insofar, you perfectly got the message :-). Glad about it!

An adorable tribute to a husband who sounds like he was the best thing that happened to you.  Enjoy!

The title is a hook for readers who wonder what the 'too long' was, as your poems are not known for being over-long.  Now I know.

My warm thanks to your lovely words, Solomon. My husband indeed IS the best thing that ever happend to me, as well as my children.
 
Hahaha! That's cute to say the title intrigued you since my poems do not tend to be over-long :-). But this one at least consists of THREE stanzas! Could that indicate the beginning of logorrea? Beware of words!
 
Appreciate your kind words much, Solomon!

Standing ovation Miss Chi :)

*chiblushes* My heartfelt thanks for your touching comment, Hashman! I'm humbled!

Thanks to you, dear J.! Finally a sign of life from a sadly missed friend :-). The poem is kind of a belated Valentine's poem  ...

Uplifting n beautiful strength of soul
n I'm sure hubby was honored by your dedication! :)

Thank you, Poe! Appreciate your kind comment much!
Well, he was a little touched that I've made a poem just for him ...

like those old Victorian three volume
novelists, only a lot more succinct..:)
a beautiful trilogy...

Ah yes, we've already talked about the Victorian three volume novelists. As many of my poems are meant as haiku or senryu it's essential for them to be succinct.Thank you, Paul!

What a gorgeous an soulful write. Life is always more beautiful from the front row ;) keep up the great work my fiend.

Thanks for your kind words, J.. Always appreciated! Hope you only forgot th 'r'?

revelations always appear in our poetry, Chi. glad to see your music is up tempo...

Yes, it is, John! If we hadn't to reveal something we wouldn't have something to write about :-). Thank you so much!

a beautiful up lifting write…I don't know what else to say except I felt this in my heart so much...

That you feel it in your heart means so much, JeJe. You do not need to say more about it since that's enough to make me happy. Thank you for feeling me, always.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment, Le Fay. It means so much to me since I am a big admirer of your wonderful poems!

What a wonderful comment, Gabriel! I appreaciate your kind words much! Thank you! xo

I reckon you'll be right at home is the front row Miss Chi. Wrapped in all the love you could wish for. Seem to be some real power in your life these days girl. Couldn't happen to a better person I reckon. Power to you and your family lovely lady. Rising ink Miss Chi. Thank you. xo

Enchanting words, Twitch, I'm deeply moved by them. From the bottom of my heart I wish you a place in the sun. You deserve it. xoxo

Never too late never too long - as ever your pithy awareness enlightens
