A Hidden Chance [Senryu]

by Sweet Fragility   Sep 14, 2007


On a cold, harsh night
A lost soul wanders in search of --
the road for redemption.

Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Senryu is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku.

    Again same thing that I wrote about Haiku in your other poem. Greatly written, it is really powerful and you created excellent atmosphere with just a few words. It really deserves 5/5
