Going For The Green

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

Written for Senryu Sunday ~
Rall has offered several images;
this is the one that spoke to me.

green leaves everywhere
terracotta overload
it is all too much

don’t know which to buy
can’t choose just one single plant
took the whole damn lot

This is “It’s All Too Much” by The Beatles

  1. Again, and again
    you are tearing apart
    Green is not my scene
    I told you ‘Blue’ at the very start,
    Again, and again,
    I’ll need another amphetamine.

    Here’s Archive, with ‘Again’ … my friend, and thoroughly recommend their wonderful concert >>

  4. ‘Can’t choose just one single plant / took the whole damn lot’—that hit way too close to home! Pairing these senryu with The Beatles’ ‘It’s All Too Much’ is absolute perfection. Such a fun, relatable post, Nancy!
