Senryu (Sen-ree-yoo) is a three-lined unrhymed Japanese poetic form structurally similar to the Haiku, but dealing with human rather than physical nature, usually in an ironic or satirical vein. Senryu 5-7-5 A thousand mistakes is but life's education along wisdom's way Melissa Honeybee  |

Oops....if I had read 5-7-5 first I would had known what Senryu meant. Anyway, I like these short poems. Such wisdom to behold. |
