M ~ I enjoy both writing, and reading, senryus. This form of Japanese poetry is one of my favourites. Thank you! EA |

And you seem to do it all SO exceedingly well! Here's a question for you, oh learned one, what's the difference between a haiku and a senryu? I am fairly certain that a haiku in the true Japanese form is always about nature and has the 5-7-5 syllables. Yes? TwistedSister |

Dear twisted sister, you are absolutely correct. A senryu is of the same form as a haiku but it is not about nature. I like writing little pearls of wisdom in "senryuic" form. tehe I suppose if there were some references to nature in the poem as well as references that were not, I believe it is still considered a senryu because a haiku is strictly on nature. Thank you for appreciating my efforts to write them! ~ Your twisted sister |

Ahhhhh, and all this time I've wanted to write words in the form of haiku but not about nature. Now I know that it is called senyru. Oh thank you wise sister. Watch out poets, she might get on a roll! heehee, Marti |

This reminded me of the description of a good painting...there are 3 focal points, the captivate and hold the viewer, continually pulling him/her back into the piece, unwilling to let them go, drawing the eye back in fascinating senyru I'm making myself pull away because I want to post one that was inspired by an arrangement at church today. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

VAS ~ That was a highly complimentary reply and I most graciously accept. Now I'll go and check out the senryu you're about to post! EA |

Linda, thanks for sharing your senryu.... or is it "s-e-n-y-r-u" ? (both spellings are posted here) Now, one strictly about nature is a "haiku". Right? Thanks so much for the poetry lesson. I certainly do need it. Love makes the world go 'round (unkown) with love and hugs from Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-03-2002 11:04 PM).] |

Beautiful words, Linda... I have a hard time with haikus and senyru's because I always have too many words to say. Chipmunks like to chatter... but you, have a remarkable talent for these types of poems... keep writing ~ loving hugsLyra |

Ethel ~ "senryu" is the correct spelling--and yes, a haiku is "strictly about nature". You're welcome re this writing lesson 101 (that's "one oh one"!--not "lol"--laughing out loud! tehe)---but if you want lessons 201 and up, you'd best ask the more experienced writers! LOL ~ I look forward to you giving this poetic form of Japanese short verse a try! They are so much fun to write! |

Lyra ~ I'm glad you like to "chatter"!!!!! You entertain, inform, amuse and confuse! You write of love, compassion, and the beauty of nature. Oh, yes, dear Queen Chip of the Munks---chatter away! loveya lots! Linda |

Sue, yes, I believe you do!--our higher self, the superconsciousness, is our connection to God's infinite wisdom and that is readily available to us all. ~ May the guiding light of God always shine down upon you Linda |
