JUL 7, remembrance of Lillian

 

TODAY'S POEM (senryu *) 

Remembering Lil:

friendships, family, knowledge --

mother's legacy.

Giorgio Coniglio

* learn more HERE about senryu, a term that designates a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.
