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.

Overflowing

Bubbles foam and rise
Champers corks, they fill the skies
Bride and Groom, betrothed.

When One Gets Drunk At A Bar

Josh gulped a few beers.
He saw Kate's dress sliding off.
Josh woke up naked.

Rue

crumbled by fingers
dead sprigs drop to the damp ground
with my self-respect

Beheld Merciful (Edited)

Age lasting before  
Froward whence came to be from  
Creation until  
 
Great inheritance  
Planetary universe  
Intention for all  
 
Interject future  
Absolution perfected  
Potential in plan  
 
Upon earthen man  
Physical planes with spirit  
Fortune mindfully  
 
 
 
Natural gender  
Regulated responses  
Personal given  
 
Finding happiness  
The key to reproduction  
A basic need is  
 
Population grows  
Morality confusion...

Haiku, Senryu 5-7-5

Just
       five
              syllables
And
       then
               another
                            seven
Followed
              by
                  five
                         more

The Ancient Cheer Song...

Raise a glass of Ale
then drink, to this ancient cheer,
(chorus) raise a glass...

Bar Room

Scent of alcohol
Mingled with the smell of smoke
Lingered in the air
