Senryū Stories

a place for all that japanese poetry i love so much and plan to write lots of 221017 - (and suddenly this is not only a japanese poetry collection anymore)

A collection of original contemporary haiku that explores the subtle moments of nature and human existence through a variety of themes or "threads." Each thread includes haiku that can be read as a stand-alone piece, but also as connected stanzas that create a larger narrative.

A potpourri.

an original collection of senryu and haiku on the subject of death and living a full life. Incorporating elements of graphic death and metaphorical deaths, giving life as a form of loss and how it leads back into itself, please enjoy these cheeky poems on a subject that is hard for all of us to manage. written at all times of the year, I have carefully selected these haiku for this collection. originally posted on my twitter, I have modified some of the poems for this collection on Wattpad. also included in separate chapters are details of my thoughts and meanings behind each poem. thank you for reading and please like or comment if you enjoyed this work.

A collection of haikus, senryus, and a few unclassifiable poems hopefully following a 5/7/5 structure.

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

Short Poems and Images

A heartfelt, therapeutic and topical poem about freedom

These are poems written by me whilst giving feedback here on Wattpad. Some may be slightly modified but most are as they were posted. They seemed too good to be hidden in the comments section of a page within someones book. I hope you agree and enjoy.

A book of poems :) originally for my creative writing class, but why not share them? These poems tell stories of sadness, heartbreak, realisation, and beauty ♡

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!
