Tender Wounds Find Peace

# Summary

Gary L Ellis presents a collection of senryu reflections on the theme of 'Tender Wounds Find Peace' as part of Paper Poetry's Poemorama poetry prompt series.

# Abstract

In an artistic exploration of emotional healing, Gary L Ellis shares two senryu poems within the framework of Paper Poetry's Poemorama initiative on Medium. The poems, titled "A broken window" and "Smiling faces shine," illustrate the journey from painful experiences symbolized by shattered glass to the tranquility of healed wounds. Accompanied by evocative imagery, the author captures the essence of overcoming adversity and finding peace in healed emotional scars. The work is a response to a poetry prompt and includes a nod to a charming nonet by William J Spirdione, showcasing the vibrant community of poets contributing to the Poemorama series.

# Opinions

- The author conveys a sense of fragility and pain associated with personal struggles through the metaphor of a broken window with shattered pieces representing aspects of life.
- There is an optimistic perspective on healing, as the second poem reflects smiling faces and hearts of joy, suggesting that peace can be achieved after emotional wounds have healed.
- The inclusion of another poet's work, William J Spirdione's nonet, indicates a sense of community and mutual appreciation among writers within the Paper Poetry platform.
- The use of senryu, a form of poetry similar to haiku but traditionally focused on human nature, underscores the author's intent to delve into the emotional landscape of healing and peace.
