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.

Still thinking of you
leaves me sitting in puddles
now stuck at my seat

Swimming With My Demons
The light shining bright
While I hide in the shadows
Breaking my own heart
While I hide in the shadows
Breaking my own heart
