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.

Lusty Senryu
lust disguises us
covering our true nature
until the climax

Teardrops and Chain
her tears rust my chains
droplets of water and salt
eroding the steel
droplets of water and salt
eroding the steel

Fall Senryu
empty promises
so full of silent untruths
autumn cold sets in
so full of silent untruths
autumn cold sets in

Arrhythmia
When I saw you there...
As if a broken record
My heart skipped a beat
As if a broken record

The Days Of Old Return
Oh LORD hear my cry
may the days of old return
when I heard your voice
I meditated
hearing the sound of your voice
I wrote down your words
your face shown brightly
for my eyes were opened wide
to see your beauty
and my soul cried out
in response to your presence
words of praise written
my soul continued
writing the words given me
face to face we spoke
here I am my God
the days of old shall return
my hands are outstretched
I'm meditating
I shall...
may the days of old return
when I heard your voice
I meditated
hearing the sound of your voice
I wrote down your words
your face shown brightly
for my eyes were opened wide
to see your beauty
and my soul cried out
in response to your presence
words of praise written
my soul continued
writing the words given me
face to face we spoke
here I am my God
the days of old shall return
my hands are outstretched
I'm meditating
I shall...

A PHANTOM THIEF
She picks up her checks
But never shows up at work-
She is a phantom.
But never shows up at work-
She is a phantom.

Illegitimi non carborundum
Humanity sucks.
I enjoy this existence
Out of spite alone.
I enjoy this existence
Out of spite alone.

Remain
here I am my LORD
let not your voice be silenced
I remain bowed down
here I am my LORD
open the eyes of my heart
to see the unseen
hear my voice dear child
remain faithful to the LORD
to see the unseen
let not your voice be silenced
I remain bowed down
here I am my LORD
open the eyes of my heart
to see the unseen
hear my voice dear child
remain faithful to the LORD
to see the unseen

I was your heart song.
Orphaned, I sing to the wind:
Move to me, dear one.
Orphaned, I sing to the wind:
Move to me, dear one.
