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.

STAY STRANGE

Stay strange to me, please—
I can’t take it when things get
Too familiar

Be mysterious,
My love, and I will pursue
You like a secret

Ancient haiku

What's the one reason
I write these Haiku poems?
They make me look deep.

But do they help me  
win the affection of girls?
No. Not as of yet.
