WELCOME TO SENRYU SUNDAY

SENRYU  5 7 5
focuses on human nature and behaviour

A senryu is a short, three-line Japanese poetic form structurally identical to a haiku (typically following a 5-7-5 syllable pattern), but which turns its lens toward human nature, everyday ironies, and relational quirks rather than the natural world.

waratah flower
a bright red aussie emblem 
i've never seen one

he loved his brother
they gave us joy made our home
always remembered

uneventful life
it may seem boring to most
it's heaven to her

                                                 
                                                                       4

the boss not impressed
this guy is going to
get his marching orders


                                                                             5


it did go quickly
it's scary to contemplate
 how little time's left

                                                                             6


another era
less traffic no phones calmer
very different now



                                                                      7

it 's still happening
in spite of all the progress
a lot has not changed

                                                                                 8

i miss buying flars
just too expensive these days
special treat only
