6/6/4 Modern Senryu
A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
Graveside Vase
by Gypsy Blue Rose
emptying graveside vase mother cries a river — last baby breath  |
Baby breath is a flower
MODERN SENRYU is the English adaptation of Classic Senryu. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but as brief as possible. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. The Haiku Foundation of America
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
