Senryu Poems

#senryu

Senryu is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, often referred to as 'human haiku'. Like haiku, senryu are short poems, comprising of only three lines. The first and last lines of a senryu should have five syllables and the middle line should have seven. Unlike haiku, senryu have a predominant theme of humans (physical or psychological) or human artefacts, and often have no references to the natural world.

A genuine smile?

My smile hides me
I can mislead all of you
Hurt, a distant tear

I have lied through life
I've been caught dozens of times
My life's a facade

darkness draws so close
I should have something to say
still, I remain mute
