senryu of blues and honesty
Giant Blue Spider on Cobweb
senryu of blues and honesty
i sing my own blues
i walk in people’s stories
their honest passion
grey clouds through blue sky
moving rapidly today
winds, variable
the world-wide cobweb
in my uncomfortable brain
can’t banish the blues
giant blue spider
also seeks some honesty
acceptance and love

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.
ZONGRIK 
that is great! i picture you standing at a mic in a dim cafe spouting your bluesy poetry =)
Beautifully done! 🙂
All blues..
Walk and sing the blues,
Saw a spider spin a web to the music of King Crimson, sold out show so I listened in the parking lot, as close as I could get to the music. And watched this spider and as the show was almost over, the web was almost complete, in time for the on-coming crowds getting to their cars, but the spiders work was not in vain it caught my attention…
love u2, honest…
Well done Zongrik. I can feel the blues in your nice senryu. Thank you for sharing.
A well done sequence of “singing the blues”.
Love it…
thanks.
Peace,
Siggi in Downeast Maine
Very nice set…I specially like the third one….Have a good day ~
I really like that line “I walk in people’s stories” — so fitting for a blue senryu !
Clever blues in all, zongrik! There’s always a ‘giant blue spider’ somewhere to ensure things move in a right direction. Great haiku, Ma’am!

The world wide cob-web. Ha! Excellent. I love it.
Nicely done — my favorite is the first!!
I like this one a lot:
the world-wide cobweb
in my uncomfortable brain
can’t banish the blues
Excellent. I love first one for its honesty.
i sing my own blues
i walk in people’s stories
their honest passion
Thanks for sharing such a piece…….I think it runs deep than the first read. I read it many times and many things came to mind. And thanks for telling me to take away word verification.
All spiders need to be loved..I loved these blues..they have a wonderful rhythm and pace..Jae
Love the “world-wide cobweb,” more dead than alive. Yet a “live” spiderweb not only touches all it meets but sends out sympathetic vibrations throughout when touches. Of course, there is the eaten by the spider part, but… Great take on the prompt! Amy
Beautifully done. Love the last set!
Beautiful and heartfelt set. Spiders, those lovely creatures, do so much work for us and certainly need more love.
Honesty shines through that first stanza. To sing one’s one blues takes courage.
Feathered Sky of Blue
the 3rd stanza is both true and melancholic…
