ONE POEM ONLY
~~~~~~
haiku and senryu are Japanese style poetry that has become very popular in the west.
the haiku is the most published poetry form world wide.
the haiku and senryu have seventeen syllables shared between three lines in this style ...
line 1 ... 5 syllables
line 2 ... 7 syllables
line 3 ... 5 syllables
the sole difference between the two is the topic.
haiku is all about nature and the elements.
senryu is all about human nature (feelings, emotion, death, stuff like that)
~~~~~
examples
'sunset haiku'
vigilant sunset
sees all, says nay, all knowing
embrace her silence
'baby sister (senryu)'
when she laughs I feel
a sharp pain within my chest
my heart has grown wings
Any questions ....
Ask?
Good luck
