Previous senryu
- こんなおれでもこの世ではオンリーワン
こんなおれでもこのよではオンリーワン
even lowly / me — the only me / in the whole world
Notes:
- Another fun one despite my struggles with advanced mathematics (uh, counting).
to Axazel- Final 4-5-4 result is a mish-mash from multiple entries
to @fallynleaf
Current senryu challenge
Volume: Global Truths
- 相合傘濡れてるほうが惚れている
Lots of kanji today. I hope I’m not the only one that had to look up 惚れる.
I just tried my hand at this one, and once again I (probably wrongly) think the sentiment is easy to understand. The difficulty is turning it into three short stanzas of English!
