A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Criss-cross Roads

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Para Papa
 
 
 
criss-cross roads

over fields of forget-me-nots —

painful old scars
 
 
 

 




Forget-me-not is a kind of flower

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.
