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.

The throttle (senryu)

Black man's constriction
Breeds fires of midsummer's spate
knee-jerk result, hate

Tap-dancing skeletons
conspire, hidden in the closets
