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.

Inert Time

Tried to get away
Like what had been so desired
Turned down, rejected

Needed Regardless

I rather be used
Relinquishing the unlove
The need for abuse

Snow angels in blood
Something warm for a cold day

Loss with Compulsion

The course of failure
A ruse, but mantle of hope
Struck down in due haste.

Less Intuition

Fail to see it all
A bitter endings calling
Destined to succumb.

Between ash and dust
Lest carbon dating gathered
