Welcome to PJ's prompt feature! We invite you to write senryu concerning: #eggs (with or without the word in your senryu)

What is senryu? It’s similar to haiku, but centered on humans

2nd spotlight is from @adlibby.bsky.social
We love Adele's hermit flash and this historical piece is gorgeous. Beautiful language crashing into facts. Sadness blurring with joy.

From prompts: During the First Day of..., Childhood Sweetheart, Fracture.
