Courage

Sense of defeat hurts

Often haunts and consumes strength

Need courage to win

Excellent senryu! I love the way you managed to include intense feelings of hurt and courage into one poem without the need for details because it manages to include all readers regardless of their individual hurts and personal hauntings. Great mastery of the poetic form!

Yes, courage against all odds...courage to keep going when things seem hopeless. We are haunted by defeat if we feel deep in our psyches we did not do all in our power to win. So much said in so few words, Zainul. Very good. lydi**
