A midnight buss
delivers both of us
to paradise

A good try, Essorant...a good try.  I know you do not ask for any critique, so this is a simple suggestion...

the syllables in a haiku or senryu should be five-seven-five...

a change might be thus:

A midnight's soft buss
delivering both of us
to paradise road

(smiles) This is wonderful, I love it, yes, follow Karilea's advice and it truly will be a perfect senryu, though it is beautiul both ways! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I'm wondering about the two esses in buss. Is it a pun? I know buso in Spanish is kiss which could certainly carry two people to paradise. Is it Italian or French, perhaps, and also means 'kiss.' Or did the s just accidentally repeat? either way, it works as 'bus' or 'kiss.'


I really like the 'feel' of the piece.

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

Even if it doesn't follow senryu form, I like that you just taught me what "buss" means!
