Thank you for reading this one-word prompted senyrū for Poemorama Part II at Paper Poetry: basket.
Senryū is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 morae. Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious.
Suntonu Bhadra, Carolyn Hastings Thank you for your time and efforts in publishing my pieces for Poemorama.
