Ressurection (Haiku)
Mindless mannequins baffle
Steady stream of flies
Trapped in burning light
Painful electrocution
Pesky human plight
Zapping to a crisp
Attracted in blinded faith
Antidote to sin
Greater by design
Most darkful persecution
Guilt that lies within
Cast over water
Departed spirits will fly
Life begins again
About this poem:
Once again I am confounded by constant ressurection of life from one life form recylced into another life form through cylces of death and darkness and life and light spinning and falling like a shooting star or a bug on fire.....whatever existed before will exist again.
Profound ( A JKu)
Peaceful calm waters
Mistreated and defiled
World is not trash can

HAIKU

Haikus flying on the wind
Where's my handkerchief?

About this poem:
Definition of Senryu1) A Japanese poem similar in structure to haiku, but more concerned with human nature, and is often humorous or satiric -- usually in three lines of seventeen kana.
2) A foreign adaptation of 1, usually written in three lines of 17 syllables or LESS.
Again, unless you are Japanese, have been writing Japanese, or speak fluent Japanese, you will be writing definition #2.
A good structure for beginning senryu poets is:
setting
subject and action (on two lines)
