I crocheted a loop
Stitching with needles of pain
My noose of yarns spun

Oooo, loved the dark twist hehehehe
Darkly intense. Well written. Hugs!
It is a great senryu, like Sharon said, Andrew. And thought-provoking too! Love the take on the phrase!
Another great Senyru!
Wow wonderful Andrew ♦️♦️♦️
Darkly poetic and deeply evocative. The imagery of crafting something intricate and personal, yet tied to anguish, is haunting. The play on "yarns spun" adds a clever duality—stories told and the literal strands of crochet. It's a chilling reminder of how art can mirror inner turmoil. Masterfully done!
This is way more intense than I thought it would be. Didn't really look at the image until I had read it. Well done, sir! Says so much in so few words. Impressive, Andrew!
