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.

Pandora's Box
wanting what once was
the doors of heaven opened
knowing hell would come
tried & defeated
a heart & soul now laden
closed doors fucking hurt
the doors of heaven opened
knowing hell would come
tried & defeated
a heart & soul now laden
closed doors fucking hurt

Tanka #37...what we're given
Whatever's in charge…
made me this way
no doubt for good reason
Who am I to disagree …we...
work with what we're given.
