Senryus Poem by anais vionet
Senryus
We were at a small
bar, the place only served some
older regulars.
An elderly guy
in an old jean jacket was
talkative, friendly.
"What do girls learn at
Yale? " He asked. "We're taught things, like
expressions, smiling,
pomposity, snark,
whatevering and stuff-stuff."
I bragged shamelessly.
"Sure, " He chuckled, "sure
- but it's worth the money I suppose, "
he gave me a toast.
Limiting yourself
can, in fact, set you free - try
writing a Senryu
Like a martial art,
a tea ceremony or
classical music
They are a tight dance -
controlled, disciplined, focused.
Other styles can drift.
A Senryu is like
a Haiku except it deals
with human feelings
