About this poem:
Senryu
(A short Japanese style poem, similar to haiku in structure, however, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous and satiric while haiku are serious)

“In the future,
all parts of the body and brain,”
the professor beamed
at his rapt audience
“will be replaceable.”
“PROMAN will pursue
his ever-adjustable programs
forever.
He will affix to and discard from
his body, as required,
all that is in need of renewal.”
"He will function faultlessly
as per The Blueprint.
‘Imperfect’ man and ‘polluted’ Earth
will at last be done with.”
“Does that mean there’ll be no more
Father Xmas?” a student asked, aghast.
“Sorry,” the professor dourly replied;
“no chimneys likely.”

~~~~~
a bird sang sweetly
despite the city chaos
nature will survive
~~~~~
a single raindrop
disturbed the glistening pond
then reflections danced
~~~~~
a sudden shower
the adults ran for shelter
children love puddles
~~~~~

Nature.

Sky pierced by stars
The game of connecting dots
Constellations twinkle
The last bird singing
In the chorus at sunrise
Singing from his heart
The portrait wanted
To move outside the frame
Something new to try
Wrapped in quilt of dreams
From the fog of sub-conscience
Words precipitate
Waves wash away my steps
A blanc page to start over
Leaves swayed by the breeze
The lost outsider
Bumped into the world’s problems
Bruises and scratches

Sunrise, ocean waves
a woman walks a small dog
courage for the day
a tree peeling bark
summers come and winters go
little insects watch

Only green salad
Can't stand it, makes me feel sad
Fasting then is bad.
Eat fruits everyday
To the loo an easy way
Drives the doctor away.
Strawberries are sweet
But ice cream is the best treat
Ate in bed, stained sheet.
Remember don't cry
I'll bake fruit and chicken pie
Before sunset's goodbye.

Quiet in trenches
Orders followed, carnage left
Shadows of the dead
In sunflower field
An abandoned violin
Refugees fleeing
Born for the combat
Blasts of gun fire, fierce ambush
Tin soldiers at war

First summer rain.
I open and then
I fold up my umbrella.
…………
First one, then another
Leaf trembles
On the apple tree
………
You smile.
Far away the bird takes off
From the slow ice floe
