Senryu (venom took his life) is a nicely written poem about two black widow spiders where the female spider bit the male counterpart after mating which is the usual practice for their nature. The word kohl is understandable as cosmetic to darken the eyelids, the word kohled is not the right word. A nice thought for the poem except the misuse of wrong word for a adjective. Sorry.

    firstly,it is about humans.second,"kohled eyes" is a COMMON phrase used in fashion industry.It is always better to not review a work if it's depth couldn't be understood,specially in these forms where each word holds a great meaning.
reply by Martin Chan on 10-Sep-2013
    Common words used in fashion industry or whatever, are not official correct words just like " Kar" instead of " Car" used in auto industries and they are not writing poems or essays which needs to use correct words. Kohled is shown as "no dictionary results" except kohl. Please avoid words used in commercials as they are not official. Even then I valued your work and rated as Good with four stars, and you insulted me not to review if I didn't understand your work and it is some kind of a personal attack on me because I said the word kohled is not in any dictionary. Please be a gentleman as this is not a FanStory policy to insult a reviewer. I needs an apology otherwise I should report it.

Black widow weeps is not a line I expected here. I enjoy your use of words. There is definately emotion coming through this poem,you also tell a story in few words.

Well my friend, I'm glad I didn't read this piece before I went to bed. I think I used to date one of those many years ago, and the visual description you portray through your words is striking. Well done Anupam, have a great evening, Bill

Hi Anupam,

You are getting very clever at these.

Very, very well done, my friend. I loved the play on words. I could see her all veiled, mysterious ... kohled! ... and with a dead husband.

Congratulations on a job wonderfully done ... sir ...! :)

Now that was short and not too sweet that's for sure.. Did like the use of the word "kohled" eyes. Had to get dictionary for that one but thank you always like a new word Good job on this one but I think maybe a pics might have enhanced this a bit just my thoughts

    I appreciate your comments.I just felt that it would be better to not use any image as senryu has multiple layers and using pic would limit its interpretations.Thanks for your positive review:)

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi Anupam

You are getting good at these little poems. I love the concept you have chosen. Many layers here I think. The black widow - great metaphor for deceit. False tears after a dark, done deed. lol You show very clever wit here and this works so well without an image - in fact has no need of one. You seem to convey dark humour, make a social comment and provide a message of warning, all in so few words. You only have essential wording and no unnecessary filler words. Great to put in your notes the 17 or less syllable count and advise no image...... pass on your learning to teach others.

You have excelled yourself. Love the alliteration in "widow weeps", assonance of ;o; in "venom/took/kohled/widow" and 'e' in "venom/search.new.prey/weeps" and 's' consonance in "his/eyes.search/weeps".

Great work my friend. Lovely when you pop in. Keep that smile and do well in your studies, as I know you will. :))) Warmest wishes and hugs - Lovinia xoxoxo
