SENRYU SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15th



 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.

lovely young couple
their fate makes me still feel sad
life can be cruel

melbourne fruit market
lovely artwork on the walls
nice fruit no harbour
( Rall ) 
 
Many fruits to choose
I linger over choices
but take a long time
( Aptivi )
 
colours spill and meld
harvest draws wandering eyes
market life blooming

you will need a boat
 to get to this harbour beach 
it is well worth it

a nice place to live
(sigh) this will never be mine
i can live with that

not a good idea
rarely works out when you drag
them to the altar
( Rall)
 
love pulls ahead fast
the groom is swept off his feet
marriage- what a drag

( Ange.. AJ Wilson)

a feeling of peace
run down and known better days
yet still beautiful

twas a gentler age 
of  crochet jugs and flowers
i remember it

different life back then
difficult without mod cons
yet managed somehow 
( Rall)

no on sees this hour
the ceremony of self 
before life begins
( AJ Wilson)
