Senryu
Majority Rule
Old democracy The only way to redeem Thee is persuasion

Rules
Can a senryu rhyme? Maybe, but not every time; forced chime is a crime. I've decided, belatedly, to make up for my long near-absence on Vocal by writing 365 stories this year (0-100, that's me). I'll need to catch up, which probably means a lot of short poetry for a while. This one is a little silly.

My life on a slide Smeared on electronic glass Big Brother watches The basic idea for this senryu came from dialog in Paul Stewart - Iconoclast review of Frank Ferdinand latest album. Check it out at the link below and give a listen to a track or three on his Spotify link.

Sudden
I scour all our chats and find so little; I thought there were more pictures. I've decided, belatedly, to make up for my long near-absence on Vocal by writing 365 stories this year (0-100, that's me). I'll need to catch up, which probably means a lot of short poetry for a while.

Stereotype
The pitter patter of tiny feet, running on wooden floors - my cat. I've decided, belatedly, to make up for my long near-absence on Vocal by writing 365 stories this year (0-100, that's me). I'll need to catch up, which probably means a lot of short poetry for a while. This one wasn't thought up at all, but popped into my head from life, with a miaow.
