Transition

echoes from the past
empty rooms weep in silence
a new broom sweeps clean

Kind of feels like this Senryu is related to your Rendezvous poem. You swept up the echos and found something more to write about in the pile of past. I wanted to attach the two since Senryu is about the foibles of mankind and they seemed relative to each other.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Bill. The two poems were not linked in any way so I found your shared thoughts interesting. Thanks for reading.

All things do pass, both the pleasant and the painful. The new broom mentioned is probably a new state of mind, one that has gently released the past.

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks John for stopping by to share your thoughts. Most appreciated.

The sound of moving on. Sometimes it's welcome, with a sigh of relief other times it's weighed with the burden of grief. 💛

[Chris Shaw]

I like what you did here.
The past is old but a new broom sweeps in to clean, unknowing of its memories.
Nicely done.

Dear Carola good to have a visit from you. I agree a change in politics is certainly needed. Not at all sure that the new broom over here is solving our many problems. Tough times ahead for many I think. Hope all is good in your world. Thanks for stopping by.

Nothing speaks of change and transition just like a new broom to sweep away the past and make it clean for the future. Cobwebs of sadness will gather and always linger otherwise. A sad senryu but one also tinged with hope. ❤

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Marina. Your avatar is lovely. Beautiful you are.

What a tender poem, touching places the broom couldn't reach.

[Chris Shaw]

I miss my grandparent old house. I try to make my house the same for my grandchildren. The echoes of the past. Stories for us to expand to the future generation. Thank you dear Chris for sharing the amazing poetry.

Broom in a quiet room - after echoes from silence. Enjoyable image here. I like it.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Andrew. Empty rooms hold many stories. The memories though stored in the corridors of the mind. I appreciate your visit.
