If you’re a haiku fan, then I humbly offer you my experiments with this short yet addictive Japanese form.

A senryu is similar in its length and syllabic structure, but moves away from nature as a subject. Instead, humour, and human foibles become the focus.

I’ll add new ones to the list in the hope that anyone stopping by my profile, will find something to inspire, amuse, or calm them.

Do leave me a message and if you like, offer me your favourite haiku—yours or someone else’s—in the comments box below 🥰

Inhaling life, exhaling stories, poetry, prose, flash or fusions. An imperfect perfectionist who writes and recycles words. I write because I love how it feels to make ink patterns & form words, like pictures, on a page.
