Prologue
This is for the Vocal Media SkyKu Challenge and Mikeydred’s Octoberon Challenge.
Our bosses reject or work. Parents tell us that we’re not good enough. Curve balls hit in all directions.
Ah, our friends the witches are no exception. But they’re cheeky, and will fly on anyway!
Have a little October fun with this Senryu.

I like the idea of learning to ride through storms here, it feels very human and gentle
Definitely need the brooms as there's so much to navigate. Great work!
Lovely and fun.
Love this imagery, Michelle!
Excellent flying words
Weathering turbulence!
Witches learn to ride their broom - In Denmark we believe, that the witches will fly to Blocksberg, a mountain in Harz in Germany - so have a happy flight!
Oh yes, we always would keep flying forward on out brooms hehehehe
