Found Amongst the Sky [Senryu]

by Sweet Fragility   Sep 14, 2007


Among twinkling stars
A lost love currently resides --
Right where he belongs.

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.

    Short, sweet and to the point. Formed poetry is usually hard for it has restrictions, however; you did this effortlessly, the flow was good.

    First of all Haiku must be poem about nature this type of poetry has some other name, I think form is right but it isn't about nature. I think that it is called something like Senry or something similar.
    And now about your poem, wow, wow , wow. You don't have idea how much you improve your writing, this short piece is simply amazing. Fantastic work, you said so much with so little words!
