Pluck away, Maga Margherita! Your awareness sparks awareness and the spirits of those who read your poetry and are pulled into the beauty of your images.

Love & Life,

Dear Margerita - Lovely write!  I guess everything is for the purpose of adorning spirit but sometimes I wish it were not so.
Enchanting picture!

it takes far more skill to adorn a thought with few words than to overdress it with excess verbiage...nicely done

Really loved this one, though what is the difference in this to a Haiku.

Dear Steaven, thank you so much. Yes, that's a point!

Dear Johan, thank you for your appreciation. A traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern haiku should have a reference to nature, while a senryu speaks about human nature. Modern haiku can have also less syllables and many do not distinguish anymore between haiku and senryu, calling all of them haiku right away.

If you google search "haiku senryu difference" you will find a lot of material to learn more from experts.

I love to do them because it is a challenge to say something meaningful with just a few words.

Thank you again.
Love,
Margherita
