And why are you crying my dear young one?

“I cry for the past
those long lost days of my youth
and family ties”

And where is your birth place my dear young one?

“I come from the east
a land where the sun shines red
and Geishas serve tea”

And how can I help you my sweet young thing?

“Please let me return
to where a red rising sun
shines for her people”

She answered me in five seven and five.

She certainly did Tom..
What a novel way to use this versatile form and lots of wonderful Eastern imagery too...

A clever, colourful and and sentimental presentation so beautifully woven with senryu Tom.

I loved this clever piece Tom. I also admire the way you move seamlessly in so many poetic directions.

Senryu form is perfect for this sad lament Tom and so clever to weave an eastern request into the question and answer theme. A lovely read.
