A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Haiku

Mom's Funeral

by Gypsy Blue Rose


skeleton flowers are real
 
   

Mom’s funeral,

   absent son sent—

invisible 

skeleton flowers

 
 
 
 
 




Ghost-like "SKELETON FLOWERS" turn transparent when it rains.

CONTEMPORARY 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 two, called the SATORI. It's written in 1 to 4 lines and 17 syllables OR LESS.

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poems.
