Why Women Need to Earn Money
In an increasingly realistic world, we witness a growing trend: more and more women are choosing to remain single, while an increasing number of men find themselves in the same situation. Late at night, as you close your eyes, you may find yourself imagining a world that’s rapidly changing.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but this wins in my book. Captured the spirit of senryu, particularly those surrounding humor, perfectly. Relatable, and made me laugh out loud (a rare occurrence!). Well done!
Way to go, Kristen! This one was hilarious! Congratulations!

"D" & "F" are quite close together, lol, & the keyboard on a cell phone is quite small.

Hahaha!! Good one!🤣🤣 Dharrsheena’s comment below! 😆 Truth!
For me it's sometimes the other way around (when I text friends only of course) because I don't think I ever mention duck in my day to day 🤣
Lol, autocorrect ruins lives! Loved your Senryu!
