Quick break-up Senryus. Pick one to quickly, cut that relationship cord: I'm sorry, What'd you say? I can't hear you (confused look) - we’re breaking up. You’re the guy that every girl at our school wants - it's their lucky day. It's time that we took our relationship to the previous level. I still cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. . . Songs for this: Love on the Rocks by Lizzie Mintz Lovefool by The Cardigans Nothing Can Stop Us by Saint Etienne Forever by X-Cetra

Breakup Senryus
(a silly series of Senryus) It’s time to cram for final exams, again, so here we go, mug up. My mind, coffee dark, drifts in academic dreams, —think roiling oceans. A ‘mandatory’ society meeting? You’re not the boss of me. I’ll shun or eschew, if I want too, sidestepping, like a tap dancer. I'm not lazy - I'm high tech and in energy saving mode right now. It’s a pointed and conscious decision—I’ll do me and you do you. . . Songs for this: Simply Couldn't Care by Tracey Thorn Each and Every One by Everything But the Girl . Oh, and a Christmas playlist because—it’s December!: https://daweb.us/xmas/Christmas_14.mp3

More break-up Senryus to quickly, subtly cut that relationship cord: You’re a guy, I’m a girl... it turns out we’re just too different! Look, It’s not you – it’s me - turns out I don’t like you much anymore. You smile at him, and then say: "You've helped realize I'm gay." Allegory time! You're a turkey, ok? And I'm going on a diet.

More Breakup lines
My prayers answered I value the gift of life Rewards of nature Flags drift softly still The stars emerge, bringing joy Light shines vivid

The Queen's done her course Now she studies her new maps For a new conquest Her inner fire It will continue to grow as will her Kingdom

Conquest
Moon mantled in clouds From it falls tears of Heaven Lotus kissed with dew Barefooted, she walks A lithesome body in white Rose cheeked, tear-brimmed eyes Her skirts made of mist as she twirls and piroettes and reaches for you Her sleeves are water They wave high, above her head Drops become crystals As she shines so bright Crowned with cassia-blossoms on her silk black hair But why does she cry? She hears the music of life and yearns for the flame The flick of her wrist The lake murmurs its sad song And she's reminded As the petals rain In hemp or rich brocade We are like vapors

Vapor
Feeling so relaxed I feel cleansed by my sad past Flowers waved relieved On my chest are seeds From it, thorns of hatred grow and they plague my soul But now I do see That I really must let go of all my grudges It is a poison That I've been feeding my soul And it's not worth it I will now forgive make peace and try to move on the best that I can I'll let my body be a clean positive seed from which light will sprout
