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

(Rall)

 

This is one reason
We moved to San Francisco
To escape the snow

 

( Fandango ) 

walking in the snow
expecting to find somewhere
nowhere to go

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

( Rall)

 

no one knows the way
yet we follow little lights
through the massing dark
(AJ Wilson...Ange )

wispy wintry scene
cold nights frosty nose iced toes|
please don't remind me

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

( Rall) 

saint among the cats
no sermon could ever match
the warmth of a purr

(AJ Wilson...Ange ) 

                                                                            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

( Rall )

ivory dreams rest
in the heart of polished wood
one touch brings them home

( AJ Wilson...Ange )
