senryu (slick surface so smooth)
Watch out for lying worms; appearances can be misleading.16 total reviews

This senryu, Slick Surface So Smooth, presented as a 5-7-5, provides that the outside appearance may hide the true insides which are ap-ple-ing.

This says to me you do not know what lies behind the curtain. Looks can be deceiving and before you dive in maybe you can take a moment to trely look at what you are getting yourself in to.

Hello anonymous
Beautiful entry for the Write a Senryu writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the presentation too. I like the apple metaphor. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

This is a perfect entry for the Write a Senryu contest. It is easy to read and understand, and it says much in a few words. I enjoyed this!

I just finished reading Genesis 3 today, so this poem really spoke to me. The sibilance in the first line suggests the serpent's beguiling hisses. "Slick" is a great word for wily Satan. I love your last line: "rotten at the core." Good luck in the contest!

Great use of alliteration and allusion to the first couple's temptation by the fruit that was in the Garden from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And then you end with a well known expression. Best wishes in the contest!

I love the message conveyed in this. Temptation indeed can be not what we think it should be as you've so eloquently stated. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

A very well-written Senryu about feeling a smooth slick surface until we are tempted to bite into the Apple and find it is rotten at the core.

Not everything, or everybody, is as it appears to be. This should do well in the Senyru contest. Good luck in the contest. Very nice job. Stay safe and stay healthy.
