Indecision… (two senryu)

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Mary Kendall

I was very lucky to have two senryu published in Failed Haiku, A Journal of English Senryu, Issue 16, April 2017

1.

traffic jam reversing my indecision

2.

sleeplessness…
balancing dreams
and more dreams

My thanks to editor, Mike Rehling. Failed Haiku can be downloaded as a pdf file. This issue contains so many wonderful poets and senryu. Please go and explore it:
