Sorry for your stomach ache … but I loved your poem. It made me miss the days when I had a regular invite to passover seder!

Thanks for pointing out the difference between Haiku and Senryu. Now I know I’m really writing Senryu.
Sorry about the bad food and the tummy ache!

We are on the same page, although I’m only responsible for a fruit platter(Shoprite) and matzo balls for Tuvia’s chicken soup( to die for).
So far it hasn’t seeped into my writing.
Maybe tomorrow.
Love the prompts you supply. I’m holding on to them.
