An excellent senryu IMO, Jon. It makes a clear and
definitive statement.
I find senryu's to be very different from haiku's.
In the haiku, imagery alone must speak without
the rhetoric; but this is perfect for the form.
Bravo!

Dearest Friend Jon.. I am so glad I saw this before I leave for the funeral service in Florida. This will travel with me to be shared with the family. I will always treasure these beautiful words from the heart of a beautiful poet and friend. Thank you so much. Love, Tina

Jon this says it all and in so few words,
it conveys a powerful and tender message.
My deepest sympathy to Tina...dear friend and poetess.

I agree with Antman, this is a powerful and tender message and delivered in a succinct senryu style. It is perfect, dear Jon, and touching. and i lke the alliteration of father and firefly.
My heartfelt condolances to Tina...I did not know of this, having been offline awhile.
Namaste,
rama devi

This is like a tiny box that holds a flawless diamond. Very fine. Very fine.
