Haiku & Senryu
Collection of 17 syllable poems
If you’re a haiku fan, then I humbly offer you my experiments with this short yet addictive Japanese form.
A senryu is similar in its length and syllabic structure, but moves away from nature as a subject. Instead, humour, and human foibles become the focus.
I’ll add new ones to the list in the hope that anyone stopping by my profile, will find something to inspire, amuse, or calm them.
Do leave me a message and if you like, offer me your favourite haiku—yours or someone else’s—in the comments box below 🥰

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
