I too have notepads everywhere. I like to give my poems an airing. Sometimes they haven:t seen the light of day for years. Out they come for an airing. I can't always remember the inspiration for them either. Thanks for visiting this senryu Tina.

Your welcome hope to see more of your writings.

[JE Falcon]

Ah, to rewrite, or note to rewrite, is always an arduous question. --- This was short and thought-provoking. Thanks!

Hi Chris, a wonderful Haiku. We all have those old poems stored away in notebooks. Having taken the time to read this wonderful write, I may give some of my early work an airing. It would be nice to see old friends again, to go once round the floor in a dance of remembrance. A wonderful write, Chris. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs always....Mike.

A poignant haiku,
hopeful of second chances,
and backward glances :))
... your 17 bits say lots Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Dylan. I do like to be reminded every now and then of what inspires a poem. It is quite often a trip down Nostalgia Lane. I don't want my poems collecting dust, I want them to breathe :)) Really appreciate your thoughts here.

I resurrect some of my old ones on occasion, after a bit of plastic surgery.

[Chris Shaw]

Ha, I like that John.
Plastic surgery on poems :) Thank you.

This is amazing Chris. Short but a beautiful poem. The poems of our lives can give us a rebirth in our current lives. I love it!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you butterfly. Pleased you dropped in with your kind thoughts.

I read some of the poems I've written and wonder where those words came from. Sometimes it doesn't seem possible they came from me but rather somewhere else.

[Chris Shaw]

I agree it is strange sometimes where the words come from. They just appear. Thank you Keith for checking this poem out.

Chris.

Excellent Chris - nicely done on so many levels - really incredible what one can do in 3 well-turned lines.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much Tony. You if anyone here would appreciate this one. They need to be worked on. Don't just pour forth :)
