Here are some Senyru (humorous haiku ) written in the traditional 5 7 5 syllabic count that I created recently--to add a little levity to your day. "Laughter..the best medicine!" Hope you enjoy! doubting dyslexic wondering whether or not there might be a dog host of fireflies greeting guests at motel six: "we'll keep the light on" surfing the wide web a spider crawls on my screen I tweet while bug weaves wearing trendy jeans-- patches and holes in the knees from garden pruning practicing Yoga for years standing on my head now have shoe fetish olympic hopeful practices on balance beam morris on catwalk little league ball game the umpire calls strike three parents start fighting |

I love senryu better than haiku, but that's just me. The Motel Six won the day for me, with Little League coming in a close second. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Coppertone is gold Down there on Miami Beach Tan lines don't exist. "Gracias, senor", Margarita smiles with joy, While tequila flows. "Come up to my room? Tourist says with lusty grin. Margarita nods. That's Miami Beach, Hell or heaven, all depends On who pays the bill. Land of sand and sun, Broken hearts and shattered dreams Scattered on the beach. |

Balladeer: I love yours! Especially "who pays the rent!" Ha..I can use a distaff member to cuddle on this cold (for Fla) winter? night. (below 50 is freezing point blanket time down south). Jerry: glad you enjoyed my absurd sense of reality! I agree: Senryu far more interesting than the moon haiku Here's 3 more I wrote today-- "begging" you to read! at the wishing well a beggar makes wish--wades in-- "6-pack of Bud, please!" walking city streets no one making eye contact except the beggars dentist waiting chair "sir, please remove your bluetooth," the hygeinist asks thanks again for the read!

This almost slipped by me in the rush of poems that pop up on this site. This definitely deserves to be enjoyed by others. Thanks for a laugh. |
