This senryu, Confusion, has the proper formatting and fnds the individual dealing with self-doubt, and the sense of ineffectiveness to deal with life.

Excellent entry for the Senryu writing prompt contest.

Human change is an inside job.

Good syllables count and connection between lines. Weaver.

Good luck in the contest.

The only way to break out of the trap is to remember to be grateful for what we have without striving for the impossible, contentment brings happiness and we sometimes just don't get it, food for thought here, love Dolly x

This is an excellent Senryu, that deals competenly with the problem of mental challenges. The reader feels that the author really understands the problem. Kate xx

Sometimes the worst prison is inside your own head. Such a short poem that speaks volumes. Well done. Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest.

This poem is very emotive and I hope that you are not trapped by your differences for life. It fulfills the requirements of a 5-7-5 poem and is certainly about human nature and/or emotions. I can think of nothing in it that I would want to change.
Good luck with it

    Thank you Celyn for your thoughtful review, and good luck wishes. Fortunately it is not autobiographical. (However, I have seen parents caught when their offspring have sharply differing views - and of course the parent can see both perspectives.)
    I wanted the emotion to be more complex than simply "love" or similar.

Very philosophical. I suppose we all feel like that at one point or another.

Very nice color scheme and excellent picture that matches.

Nice work. Good luck in the contest!

This is a good senryu. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated. Hopefully, confusion will not be the speaker's life sentence. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

That depicts a lot of people who are introverted and trying to work out problems with themselves that they miss out on living and being part of other people's lives. Well said in your senryu poem. Best wishes in the contest!
