self-reflective senryu series

What does my life show?
Is Truth I'm set apart to
communicated?

My Home is elsewhere;
does that show in what I do
and things I cling to?

Do my actions speak?
show that God, who surrounds me,
is completely Good?

Do I manifest
God's providential greatness?
My trust in Him clear?

Can my fear of Him
be seen in the ways I act?
His Word outweighs mine.

Is God's Grace to me
obvious in life's courtroom?
My striving falls short.

Hey, Larry...

I've modified my entry to indicate that critique is welcome. It's been a while since I offered anything, so the habit had died!

I like all of your suggestions, and I'll likely incorporate each, though the one to the third senryu would make the first line run directly into the rest for ONE LONG THOUGHT, which isn't supposed to happen in a senryu.

Also, I'm not sure if you noticed the IRONY of your having to offer a suggestion in the first senryu!? Do you see it? LOL

deLighting in your generous sharing, Daniel sun.gif
