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.

FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS
You opened the gate
To your flower garden and we
Looked and smelled and shared
-
A rose petal brushed
Against your wrist, and smelled all
The sweeter for it
-
I admire your thorns
And lend them my softest parts
As with trust, comes blood
To your flower garden and we
Looked and smelled and shared
-
A rose petal brushed
Against your wrist, and smelled all
The sweeter for it
-
I admire your thorns
And lend them my softest parts
As with trust, comes blood

Win
But I'm a winner
So I used the wooden spoon
to smack their arses!
