Haiku v Senryu
The subtle difference between Haiku & Senryu.
Look No More
I'm sitting alone in a store full of books; Why have people turned into crooks? There's lots of people but not with me, Guess I'll have to climb a tree! It's been years since my union failed; Guess I'm too much to be entailed. Too odd I am -ecc

His Eyes
i made this in 7th during our poetry unit. its basically that someone's brother made/makes his mother cry everyday, and one day, he got so sick of her cry, that he just got up and left.

Cascading fields of waving green caress the quiet hills with nonchalance.

Blackened Night
Winter rush of raven’s wings whisper dream omens long nights.... Hot wind breath of demons sickly sweet restless dreams, chilly nights worry... Sharp edge dry fears cold in late lamplight frayed

Haiku/Senryu Compilation
Senryu is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 or fewer morae (or on) in total. However, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious. Unlike haiku, senryu do not include a kireji or verbal caesura (cutting word), and do not generally include a kigo, or seasonal word. It is often said that both haiku and senryu can be funny, but that if it’s funny, it’s probably senryu. Both haiku and senryu can be about nature, but if it’s about nature, it’s probably a haiku. In addition, both haiku and senryu can be about nature or human nature. Both haiku and senryu can be serious or humorous/satirical. A serious poem about nature is certainly a haiku. And a funny/satirical poem about human nature is certainly a senryu. Tanka consist of five units (often treated as separate lines when transliterated or translated), usually with the following mora pattern: 5-7-5-7-7. The 5-7-5 is called the kami-no-ku (“upper phrase”), and the 7-7 is called the shimo-no-ku (“lower phrase”).
