Senryū Stories

A collection of haiku, senryu, scifaiku, elfjes, six-word stories, monostitch, and other short poems

Scary haikus with some based on horror films, liminal space/backrooms, as well as nightmares/night terrors I had as a kid. I stick to the strict 5-7-5 syllable structure as I feel it's more fun and challenging for me. Also, when finished, I would love to make these into a book with illustrations. :)

This is a first collection of my micropoems. (Currently I have collected just over 50 of them here, but this is still work in progress and I will add some more in the future!) Some of these poems, but not all, are haiku or senryu-like (although I don't stick to the classic 5-7-5 format, here juxtaposition is more important to me). Some are more like quotes. And some are more poetic than others. But they all have one thing in common: they are short. (The shortest consists of just one word and a punctuation mark after it; maybe you will read it...)

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

※A Haiku & Senryu Anthology※ Violet may be just shade of color. In just only another bubble. Or purple in such an honor. Light the world up like no other. Established thinking within power. That can't make you more lower. Caterpillar has done all the work but, butterfly is the one who has the light on. Caterpillar may have a long way to go but, butterfly is the one who has the sun shone. Even though people seem to forget that butterfly is also the one who has stolen away far from the right violet flowers. Just like how violet butterfly is Violet Butterfly.

The poetry of impermanence, the observation of birds.

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

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!
