This poem is a note of hope. Hopefully, the reader will take this to heart. There are too many closed hearts. Closed in many ways. This poem can be a cautionary tale. There are fearful people spewing their hate and confusion. This was well thought out.

This is a possitive message to be putting out there in the world. It is so important that people know that just cause we are closed off doesn't mean we have to be closed off.

This senryu, What to Keep Open, presented as a 5-7-5, reminds the reader that imagination and faith will always serve the seeker.

Hello, Anonymous,

Nice entry for the Write A Senryu writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the thought provoking heart and mind topic. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written Senryu in times of distress and hardship we can still dream and have an open mind to see the good beyond the bad that can be overwhelming.

You followed the rules and penned an excellent poem for the Senryu contest. Your illustration pairs well. What more can I say about three lines except nicely done.
