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.

Many fruits to choose
I linger over choices
but take a long time

harvest draws wandering eyes
market life blooming

love pulls ahead fast
the groom is swept off his feet
marriage- what a drag

different life back then
difficult without mod cons
yet managed somehow

no on sees this hour
the ceremony of self
