She cried in sorrow
I laughed at fond memories
Her eyes hated me

Oh no! 😄 A great entry of common misunderstandings!
Thank you! This is so familiar. We all grieve differently and the good memories are important and come with the sad. Tears and laughter are both healing and that is what is needed when a loved one dies. At first, I didn't like the celebrations of life until I realized they are sometimes just what is needed.❤️
Brilliant work!
Such a contrast of emotions (and sometimes they flood one into the other). Powerful writing, Antoinette!
Lol, definitely awkward! Loved your Senryu!
That would be awkward. I think it would make me laugh more though. Nicely done.
A lot in so few syllables. Nice.
Brilliant!!! Loved it!!!
