Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Another thing that sometimes gets to me and sometimes I feel. Not really a current thing, but was playing around with the words and this came forth.
This is another part of my ongoing senryu series, "scratches in my mind". I shall make an index page for them all so they are easier to access and link to.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

Being first is overrated. Surely. And what’s that phrase.. he that is first is last..might even be biblical..
Great work and you know I feel like that sometimes. Just someone between the lines.
A great new addition! Perfectly paired title and senryu. Being lost in the middle and not feeling prioritized is a relatable sentiment
Excellent piece of work .
Ah, I feel this Paul.
It sucks when we're someone's last option, especially when they're our first priority. Loved your Senryu!
Kinda like the middle child. Well done, buddy.
I Am Never First Almost Every Time I Am The Last In The Line excellent words
Excellent writing and simple
Really thought-provoking 😮💕
