Thee is persuasion

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

Sometimes I think Democracy The Ideal was locked away in a trunk by Democracy In Practice long ago to whither away
It might take a revolution. Well done.
Persuasion please redeem! Insightful senryu. Thought - provoking AI generated image. Excellent.
ah so powerfully true, my friend!
This was so deep and powerful! Loved your Senryu!
Love it! I was just talking to someone about how we need a straight majority rule in this country. The electoral college is as antiquated as slavery. If we elected by popular vote, it would solve a whole lot of problems.... including overcoming some justified cynicism from younger people about whether or not their vote truly matters! I enjoyed this poem (and that picture you generated)! ⚡💙⚡
This was powerful! Love it! 💌🌟
