Great, inspirational Senryū.
Oh, I like this take on the new year. Well done!
Ooooo, I loved this concept!! Happy New Year to you, DJ! Wishing you all the best! 💝🎉 Sorry the delay in reading your stories by the way, I just got back from vacation!!
Ssssssenssssational! 🎉✨
Shed what is dead. I guess I could try, hehehe. Loved your poem!
You know, you could have a rest today, don't you? But I'm encouraged by your senryu to know that 2024 didn't completely clean you out of creative juices. Great senryu, by the way. Shall we start 2025 with a deftly done? I think so.
What a sleek and clever way to ring in the new year! Here's to shedding the past and slithering into a fresh start! 🙌✨
As far as haikus go, this is fitting as the newness of the season calls us all to transform into something different.
