Senryu
A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Haiku
Old Sailor's Tattoo
by Gypsy Blue Rose
old sailor’s tattoo—
Hawaiian girl’s grass skirt
around her feet |
The bad thing about tattoos are permanent and some of them change in old people's saggy skin.
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.
