Burn Out

See the stars burn out
Falling swiftly to the ground
Gone without a trace
A Senryu

Burn Out

Greetings, Gigi!
With first read, I considered this more of a haiku representing nature, but it cleverly may be interpreted as a senryu as we humans experience burn out much like the stars. Either way, it is beautiful!
Thank you!

Yes Lav

Exactly. It’s both, depending on what level you’re reading! Isn’t it great?!

Wonderful

I was thinking along the lines of Lavender...as we experience burn out much like the stars. Such a simple, elegant write. Great job!
