peaceful stillness dwells
within my transparent heart ~
no path left to walk …
Author notes
POEM C - senryu
Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Senryu is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku.

thank you so much for your insightful comment, kei-aira.

This is a great senryu. It is a perfect example of the form, where it seems simple at first glance, but can go deeper and deeper and really make the reader reflect.

I love you very much !!!

enchanting
Sublime - words and painting. I have not tried senyru, though
I do many of the other short forms. Have now an example to steer around. Maa, you are as lovely as your words and just as wise as Buddha.
hugs and love - Wolfie -
