SENRYU SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8TH

                                                                           

 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.

unbelievable
our friends lived here in new york
in this very street

                                                                            2
 

coloured bibs and bobs
bits and pieces strewn about
clutter dust and mess

Gosh that's a surprise
what has grandpa been drinking
Grandma seems quite shocked

                                                                      4

used to be cheap digs
a row of terrace houses
now are worth millions

 

                                                                        5

wintry wonder scenes

street lamps set the mood magic
a cold frosty night

                                                                              6

she had lots of fun
no wonder she was called the 
giggling gertie saint

                                                                            8

the poor kid never 
got to disney land spent all
summer on the beach

9

generous neighbours
hard for musicians in flats
bagpipers do well

                                                                           10

 

 when i was a child
most of our friends had pianos
now they all have cars
