Senryū Stories

This collection of senryu captures fleeting moments that illuminate aspects of human nature. Senryu are similar to haiku in that both forms consist of three lines with five, seven, and then five syllables. The main difference is that haiku traditionally focus on nature while senryu focus on humans, although the boundary between the two forms is often blurry. Cover by @weirdpurplepanda

A collection of senryu collections

My take on the ancient poetry forms.

Some god-awful haiku/senryu poems that I tried to make sound funny. They are probably not funny at all. Enjoy.

Amalgamated tiny shredded thoughts..

Zen Haiku and the Art of Kensho ~~~ If you thought you knew everything about haiku, read this, you might be surprised-or possibly you do know everything about haiku.

Senryu - a Haiku about a person instead of nature. I hope you never read these. I hope you do.

Most emotions are pretty brief, they appear suddenly and vanish ... I really can't share my feelings with others unless I share the cause of those feelings with them. Most of these Senryu/Haiku poems present dramatic moments in my life, tiny mental photographs of them. Someone could be reading this a hundred years from now and share that exact experience with me (long gone). When I compose a Senryu/Haiku poem, I am basically saying that it's hard to tell you what I'm feeling, but maybe if I share the event that caused the feeling for me, you might realize you have similar feelings of your own, and there is no better way to share feelings in my opinion. I have added comments after every poem, I know this is an unusual practice, but I felt it would bring a different reading experience to this form of poetry, sort of like a "director's" commentary track in a film. I hope you enjoy this small selection!

Japanese poetry is fascinating with it's format of syllables (5,7,5) it's actually amazing how little words can actually mean more.

This is a collection of my version of haiku/senryu poetry. I write mine as I was taught. They are about capturing moments like pictures do.
