Senryu

I tried my hand at writing senryu last night. Don’t even know how to pronounce it. Unlike haiku, but using the same number of lines and syllables, senryu subject matter deals more with human qualities…or foibles.

finger traces frown
simple touch forming a grin
wordless gaze speaks plain

head bowing in grief
surrounding activity
distracting tear’s fall

III

coffee break was stale
anger leaving it bitter
aroma left flat

filmy, floating gown
luring midnight seduction
dawn…alone…forlorn

glazing the raku
fired pot combusts a pattern
sawdust leaves its mark

aged, lonely woman
sweeping fallen, autumn leaves
her eighty-fifth year
