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.

Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

No boundries
White sand is nonstop
The hourglass will betray
We'll forever love
The hourglass will betray
We'll forever love

Anew
petal soft anew
her first bloom kisses the sun
beauty in the light
her first bloom kisses the sun
beauty in the light

Keep trying until you get it right
Two hours ago
I tried to take my own life
I'll try again soon
I tried to take my own life
I'll try again soon

A Slow Demise
Like old photographs,
memories fade over time
Part of me has died
memories fade over time
Part of me has died
