The Snafu Senryu challenge

A senryu is meant to highlight human quirks and emotions, so ensure your senryu has a personal or emotional touch

Submission:

Elevator silence,

Button pressed – same floor as you,

Eyes dart, cheeks turn red.

Mismatched socks on stage,

Spotlight beams, crowd notices,

Blame the morning rush.

He laughed, I joined in,

His tears were not of joy – oops,

Mistook his sorrow.

Texted, no reply,

Yet online – they're posting pics,

Swipe, pretend not seen.

Late for the meeting,

Stumbled in with coffee spill,

Slides on backward too.

Each bite makes a sound,

First date, chips the only food,

Crisp echoes of nerves.
