A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

~ * Skipping Stones *~

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Helen ( lyenochka )
 
 

       skipping stones   —
ripples
of recalling dad
 
 




Senryu is similar to Haiku but it focuses on human nature, psychology, and mind.

Senryu can make use of poetic devices such as simile, personification, and
metaphor. It can also employ puns, parody and satire. Unlike haiku, senryu are not reliant on a seasonal reference, but they DO occasionally use them.

Senryu can be humorous but many express the misfortunes, the hardships and woe of humanity.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
