    good

    this senryu works for me...i like the ambiguity in the last line, as it throws up many possibilities, such as:
    the cake didn't rise
    you slept in & didn't rise
    there was no surprise
    & maybe there's a hint of sexual frustration in there as well...oh gee, i hadn't really thought of that one, until just then....

    anyway, this senryu conjures up all sorts of images & dreams from its little three line bed, which can only be a good thing!

    ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What happen, did not put in all the ingredients? I am sure that your had to like it anyway because it is the thought behind the present not the present itself.
