a spot of light
from the hand mirror
travels up and down her arm

shadow patterns
her neck

    Yes, nice senryu, if the last two lines are ignored as redundent and distracting.

    I can, also, imagine a car mirror. A different spin. Perhaps stopped at traffic lights, as the effect takes place, an urban night, with neon and rain.

    I agree, the last two lines are distracting. Other than that great poetry!

    Not as distracting as ”
    redundent.”
