Present Imperfect
Day 16 of 50 days of senryu inspired by songs
Regrets rehashed
Stalls, leaves you stuck in reverse
Stay in the present

Thanks for reading!
This is inspired by Alyson Smith's challenge of writing a haiku a day for 50 days, inspired by songs and lyrics that are special to her.
I have not been doing this daily haha.
I've been really busy with other stuff so always sidelined this but wanted to put this one up because this song has always been a great reminder to me when I'm plagued with regrets and past decisions and mistakes.
So this is my 16th entry. For today's I've chosen one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands, Present Tense by Pearl Jam.
Tina D. Lopez, Harper Lewis, Stephanie Hoogstad, my fellow Italian Sasha Desideri, ali, Mike Singleton, and now A. Bell also been doing this challenge.
