Belle of the Bayou
Bad move, cher. Not just the slip of her kitten heel on the rainy February cobblestones in the Fourth Ward. She got caught snooping. Detective Deleon clucked and strutted like a rooster in his rush to clear her from the scene, waving cigar smoke to and fro as he gesticulated amid the thick air of the speak easy. An experienced crime reporter, Marie knew better than to let the coppers catch her on the wrong side of the line, but curiosity had gotten the better of her.

Yup, that's sooo true! Loved your Senryu!
A simple senryu that encapsulates the synergy between disciplined preparation and the freedom of spontaneous creativity. Love it, DJ! 💌
So true!! Tough to accept sometimes, that it takes tons of unseen effort to get to the point where something looks effortless...love this quick, wise piece!
Dynamically pivotal in so few words.......
