Lovely senryu! It irks me when people call pieces such as these a haiku. Haikus relate strictly to nature; a senryu, human nature and events. This is a great SENRYU. Anyway, it seems pieces about current events are few and far inbetween. Thank you for sharing.

Haikus do not relate strictly to nature. And human nature is still nature.

It is amazing how we can organize a giant sporting event and can't get along in real life. I wish the leader of the Olympics could be the men and woman who organize a world of peace. I like the Olympics. The world seem to be more relax and thinking of the games. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

I wished to get you at the time of the inaugural ceremony.
We had a very exciting and enjoyable time.
Many friends shared awesome points then.
You may love to read some of them.
I fully agree with your opinion.
I am also a very optimistic.
I also believe that world peace may come through interactions and festivities like the Olympics.
I Wish you Happy Olympics!!!
And the old saying says that if the world can come together for two weeks, then why not forever? Yes, hope is spread once again and we hope that it will inspire all of us. Nicely said, Zainul.

I salute you for citing the saying that if the world can come together for two weeks, then why not forever?
I add your optimistic spirit with mine.
I feel immensely empowered.
Thanks also for the lovely and admiring review.
I Wish you Happy Olympics!!!
I can't get too worked up about the Olympics, then I never have. They just don't really interest me. But this is a lovely Senryu. You have gone with 5/8/5 in this. I would say that you could cut it down in syllables but I'm not sure how. Nice alliteration in the third line as well.
Blessings, Tammy

I will reexamine the poem and see how the syllable issue may be fixed.
I appreciate your way of inspiring me.
I was not very enthusiastic about the Olympics in the past.
But,I don't know a kind of weakness crawled into me.
I feel that you have all freedom to like or dislike anything.
But,as the passion insists,may I Wish you Happy Olympics!!!
Great way in incorporating the Olympics into a poem. Excellent work, very optimistic outlook of it aside from the competition aspect.

The events of the Olympics are the attractions of the millions of the people worldwide.So,I tried to bring this issue in a poem so we can also enjoy the beauty and warmth of the international activity.You have seen many of the learned members joined the conversations and shared their
warm feelings.I thank you for joining here too.
Wish you Happy Olympics!!!
Great Senryu! These Olympics will be awesome! I don't even care who wins the golds, as long as their win is well earned.
Also, any Olympics, not just the London ones will/have inspired generations. We can all thank the Ancient Greeks!
