Thank you! :)

Comment from Gloria ....

Excellent

Author this is a most prophetic and clever senryu indeed. When one can see what is REALLY transpiring sometimes we'd rather avert our eyes from the horizon than to see such ugliness.

Best wishes in the contest.

Hi Mystery Poet

Dark humour indeed. I think this shows great wit. I like the 'play' and contrast in "on-the-horizon" and "grounded". I love all the crunchy 's' sounds and the near-sound of "now/grounded". A nice little flair with the supernatural. I have enjoyed your satori line.

Great presentation and selection of image which adds to your senryu and complements. There is some danger of posting an image and it detracts from the words..... not the case here. :) Your poem stands alone without the image. Good luck in the contest ... I think this a very good entry. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxoxo

Hi, L~~~. :):)

So pleased you enjoyed this. It was fun framing this one. But it seems to have scared away the voters too as it had zero votes in the booth...LOL. Thank you for the lovely detailed review as always.:)

P.S I will PM soon.

In some contests I see the best poems imho without votes or only a few. I tried to keep track of this one to vote .... missed it. Look fwd to hearing from you ... when you can ... life is so busy. :))) Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo

Very well done. I like the use of the double meaning of "grounded". You have followed all the contest rules and come up with a great piece. Well done

Fantastic pairing of artwork and poem, which is in excellent form for the senryu
I just love your play on words with - now she is "grounded" LOL
Great gallows humor :-) Brooke

I'm curious: why hyphenate "on-the-horizon"?

This is really good, though. I like the image that psychic eyes seeing what's on the horizon conjures up.

Good stuff, this. :)

Because "on-the-horizon" has some specific meaning.
Thanks. :)
