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

Fabulous. I’ve tried to capture this for about two years now. Assuming that you are talking in chakra terms.

The weekend is upon us.
Why not visit Wivenhoe. Remember it closes on Mondays.

Robert @robert-kingston.bsky.social · Apr 11

Congratulations, Patricia. Don’t know who the organisation is, but an award is an award.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.
