Senryu’s of Love
Separate But Together


Vast spaces deny us
You inspires my heart songs
With those Irish eyes  …

On emerald Isle
Us running behind hedge groves
In afternoon rain   …

Stars join in night dance
Two waltz a candle lit sky
Irish eyes wink yes …

Lips seeking pleasure-
moist in delicious ventures
lost in throws of love….


James Parker Haley   Mar 2, 2000


So I thought I'd try and put together a
few Senryu or haiku's to make a poem of Love,
each being Separate But Together. Not sure if
I'm following the right format...

The title was never finished, but after reviewing, my comments above it was staring me right in the face.... I think poems just write themselves, I am just the pen?

These are beautiful.  What a creative idea!
You certainly have a talent for haikus and senryus.  Keep it up!

Take care,

Achingly beautiful, James, you've outdone yourself this time!

Corinne

I've never written a Senryu, looks somewhat similar to a Haiku?

Corinne, Thank you Achingly.

As I was informed by another poets post on this site, in another poem. Haiku is about nature and Senryu is about the human experience usually with an ironic twist. It seems that they both use the same format, 5-7-5, or as some may not know what that means its
5 syliables - 7 syliables - 5 syliables.

I have to agree those are nice either way
and speak books in just a few words< !signature-->

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

*devina sneaks into the room quietly...sorry I'm late with this one James!!*

I think the words and phrases you've used would be beautiful in any format...tis the feeling that counts right???

Warm drops clense a lonely soul
