Senyra.....
About this poem:
Falling in love...Lovers (Senryu)
lovers embrace in the rain
welcoming passion
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)
Night of the misty moon
hearing her name,
I listen.
In the sakura fields,
"It's tonight",
we noticed.
The radiance shows,
on the
Night of the misty moon.
It's beauty glowing.
Love is forever,
As a diamond
Becomes pure,
A sakura petal
Falls into the pond
we are near.
Quiet, Serenity, Peace,
This is our place
For the night
Of the
Misty moon.
About this poem:
This poem is based on both old Japanese and Chinese philosophy, in which, is why I wrote this and because a couple months ago, the moon was looking misty.In this poem, is a hint on how to keep balance, stability, Vitality and love for others. For which cannot be seen, is what lies from within.
The night i wrote this poem, I was feeling quite calm, peaceful, tranquil, and at peace with myself and GOD. Writing these types of poems is how I express both my feelings, and the old philosophy of China and Japan.
Fabulous Fall (haiku)
Chilly breeze blowing
Colored leaves against blue sky
Musky scent of Fall
Pear Tree Haiku for fjames Picture Uploaded
Small spindly pear tree
overwhelmed with lovely fruit
strong enough to bend
About this poem:
IF YOU GO AND CLICK ON POST A COMMENT the whole tree shows up its awesome.. My little pear tree..I was just mowing my grass.( 3 acres) I notices my little pear tree. its only 4 feet tall 4 inches at the base 2 lonely branches coming off the base and little twigs coming off that the the branches are like 2 inches around at the most.. I almost cut it down a few years back because i was sure it was dead.. I just didn't have the heart.. It is so loaded with pears at least 50 that is bent completely over touching the ground..
I have been so overwhelmed with my own grief and locked inside my depression I never noticed or I would have found a wedge for the 2 lonely branches..
Nature never ceases to amaze me.
