my emotions live

within a split-level heart

the basement flooded

That feeling of drowning in sadness, but there is a light above it all that will prevail..

When we strip a poem down to its essence a senryu emerges- full and raw.
There is a difference in counting syllables to comply with a form , and impacting the reader. Really excellent piece.

Me too.... being a person who feels everything. Some things too intensely.
VERY well said, 100.

Gasping for air. I feel a survivor here of pain struggling against the odds.

Life can be overwhelming at times dear J and those emotions an unwanted roller coaster ride.

How the tears fill the basement and the air is thin on higher ground.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

...and a truest poem comes when the truest emotions overloading and overflowing and overwhelming from that treasured split, You make me feel both... an open heart, and a wounded heart, and in both the split is real, the emotions are vibrant... and another brilliance from your overwhelmed pen.

Excellent senryu J. One that had me seeing a bit of myself in it to be honest. I tend to find myself spending a lot of time in that flooded basement of mine unfortunately. Great work my friend.
