Silly, Unrelated Senyru

snow sky waits, on hold,
its breath in pause, a clause of
adept magnitude

©January 9, 2003


slurp the last sip up
try not to slip up, morning
coffee rocks your socks

©January 9, 2003

carpet leaves, fall’s linger
evidence the time of year
garden rake’s full waste

©January 9, 2003

almost still shadows
move with clock’s tick-tock, hour’s hand
sound of one, clapping

©January 9, 2003

I’ll call it quits, friend,
before I’ve fried your brain’s guard,
its virus scan, Man!

©January 9, 2003

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Virginia, I really thank you for these senryu's.
as you kno, I love them, but still don't know all the tecniques
of writing them. If you don't mind, I'm going to
keep them so I can study the way you did them.
I don't think you will mind....

gg,
senyrus are probably among the easiest to do because they're 3 lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables.

different from haiku, they can be about anything and include personification, similes, and metaphors

haiku must be about nature, cannot have personification, simile or metaphor, and should have a twist in the last line

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
