| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/18/02 at 12:56 AM Scary, these gas grilles! An unintended lesson in safety. Symbolic of inattention, carelessness, negligence; or deeper meaning of naivete. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 08/09/04 at 02:01 AM Reading this again makes me realize how such dangerous things/conditions can be objects of humor. I guess it is a human way of coping with danger. |

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/09/08 at 03:55 PM This senryu has everything. It has the feel of one in the oldest zen tradition of humor and enlightenment, and is memorable for that reason, as well as its originality. It even has a sci-fi feel, with it's fireball suddenly appearing and creating this alien look. (Sci-fi-ku) I imagine the scent of burnt eyebrows too, hee hee, not what one expects from a "grille"... by the way, the spelling heightens the escape from an opening - and gives a frilly elegance to the situation... very rich little moment! |
