Keeping Quiet

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes
 

after the funeral,

   the father kept quiet—

as did the mum

 

 
 
 
 
 
 




Mum is short for the chrysanthemum flower
Mum or mom is short for mother
mum means keeping quiet

SENRYU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. Unlike Haiku, senryu is about human nature and doesn't need a season word. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. It's written in 17 syllables OR LESS and three lines.
