Written in sympathy for the 50 who were mercilessly gunned down and for their friends, families and fellow New Zealanders who suffer these overwhelming losses. Such terrorist acts are an attack against all who hold peace and each other within loving hearts. May our communities find or construct avenues to reclaim civility and health.

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”).

Just trying..
Just having a crack ……
toying with some more, think we are progressing..
Like a fish bone knife Patiently gutting stray clouds For silver lining.
Grey mountain of sky Eating valiant silver ships Wild drunk on moon blood

Another haiku, another parade nine miles from the first parade that was in Platteville, Wisconsin, which is in the southwest corner of the state. This parade was in Belmont, Wisconsin. On Sunday, it's off to WI Dells!
Haiku on the parade I went to today on September 9, 2023 for Dairy Days in Platteville, Wisconsin.
Another haiku, I used to work fast food from 10/88 - 1/93, and I never had to work the drive thru.
