Senryu Pair (for rules ck author notes)
2023 Gypsy's Haiku
: Empty Nest by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
 
father helps son

move to his college dorm—

sad to let go
 



dad carries box
 
with globe on his shoulder—

the weight of the world
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Author Notes
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.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poems.
