Ahhh memories, huh? Those were the days. The single days when we wished we had someone and now all they do is nag. Hahahaha. I really like the picture you chose to pair with this and the title is great, since it's the opposite of the usual meaning. Well done.

This senryu, Thank God for Memories, presented as a 5-7-5, brings the happy couple in for a closer view where we see that marital bliss is blistering.

You got me, from the first line I knew where you were going, then you didn't go there. You added intrigue to what could have been mundane. LOL I love it thanks for sharing. Embrace the love from above.

You had better be prepared for stormy weather at your house if your wife sees this LOL All kidding aside, I do believe that our memories help us deal with what unpleasant things going on today by being able to remember something happy from the past.

There is much irony in these words and you walking with your wife, yet your thoughts are of you being single, contrasting thoughts here . . . love Dolly x

"walking with my wife
reminds me of better times ~
when I was single"
This is a good entry for the contest, but I hope you don't really feel that way.

Well this is surely different in tone, Mystery Author. However, you did a good job with the contest prompt. I enjoyed reading your well thought out poem. It makes perfect sense describing the feelings this man has now that he is married. The art is a good pairing, too. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Well! This surprised me! I did not expect this as I looked at the picture first and found it to be really cool. The surprise of your words made me chuckle. Nice and clever writing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Oh, so wry! Yet, true to life in its best forgotten moments. Why cry about it? Laughter has its healing balm. Nicely formatted and indeed satirical. Well done
