This is so true :) your poem is funny, witty and with a good dose of sarcasm. The picture you've chosen is great :) All the best in the contest, you've got my vote.

Ciao!
I?m glad my wee poem made you laugh.
I truly did put my father through hell he was always walking on eggshells on those days.
Thank you for your vote!

Aggressive little bitch isn't she? I refer to the Tasmanian devil of course? I don't think I ever complained about having to shave daily (even before i grew the beard). I know no man can come near to understanding what you are writing about here though many of us have been forced to experience being on the receiving end.
Your little senryu explains it well and the video even better. As a senryu it may not fare too well because of the myriad of confusing rules surrounding Japanese short form poetry. You might be accused of not having a powerful enough satori line.

I just noticed that the contest is in the booth..looks like the committee had no issues with my weak satori line.
Either way, I would not have changed it (briggrin).
The little critters are nasty ... I felt sorry for my father he would walk on eggshells on those days. (sigh)
keep safe!

This is a perfect little poem exactly describing too many of my younger years. I never equated my personality to Jekyll and Hyde before, but I'll bet a lot of my dates did. Best of luck in the senyru contest.

When my mamma died pa came back to live with me in our family house.
I put him through hell ..
My demeanor totally changed .. I was like Jekyll most of the time than Hyde during those days.
I was a Tasmanian Mountain Devil.
Thanks for reviewing my wee poem.
He definitely tried to keep his distance .. he would walked on egg shells.
