August 2021 – Exclusive Inflictions

Senryu #12

Some nasty habits are more stubborn than others to break away from

We all need shelter From Mother Nature’s fury Over what we’ve done

Self-destructionTragedy strikes unexpectedlySilent suffering

Summer presentsA sweet bowl of cherries, savoredOne pit at a time

A glimpse of the beachBrings tidal waves of memoriesTo crash on the shore

Up around the bendThere’s always something waitingFor you to arrive

The sun sets do Westyet views to the East are bestwithout any regrets

Muddling the mint leavesat the end of a hard dayeases stress away
