After the funeral,
I walked through the street alone,
-many strange faces.
When they were dating,
He was a prince, she said yes
-became a monster.
Joey meet Dennis,
Both were the new boys in town
-a lifelong friendship.

One Single Impression: Strangers
An excellent trio.
ReplyDeletereal nice one...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable and perceptive. Another excellent selection.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, all three packed a powerful punch. They each said so much about life with so little words! Excellent.
ReplyDeleteSometimes words speak to places we aren't aware of. Yours made me aware that I am a stranger here, reading through the words of strangers, their impressions of strangers.
ReplyDeleteI like the second one especially. He became a monster, but the syntax suggests she might have, too. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteEdward, your second senryu describes my ex-son-in-law. It was terrible.
ReplyDeleteYour third one is common, newcomers tend to support each other and become good friends.
Depending upon the circumstances and parties, most of the faces might seem strange. They did even when my ex announced she was leaving.
Good life event fitting here. Thanks,
..
maybe its not so strange after all!
ReplyDeleteVivid triple play - each so different and yet the stranger is evident...
ReplyDeleteI liked them all. The first one was very vivid. Saying goodbye can be such a lonely experience.
ReplyDeleteSadness, madness and happiness. Thanks for all three.
ReplyDeleteit reminds me of a beautiful quote that said " there are no strangers here, only friends, we havent met"
