Hi Sally, I'm Jim.

A Senryu Poem

Senryū (川柳) is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 morae (often translated as syllables, 5-7-5). 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. (Wikipedia)

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
