Ten More

Senyru Season.

Reflections

I sit by the lake,

it doesn't matter which one

they all have magic.

On The Bank

The fish aren't biting

but what the heck do I care

as I sit and dream.

Getting There

A ploughed field's furrows

now begin to spring to life

as the winter ends.

Woodland Joy

Give me a forest,

a trail that leads to nowhere

but back to nature.

Leveller

Oh how nature burns

in the soul of all mankind

as it humbles us.

Miniscule Man

I am quite humbled

by all the earth's creations

that I feel so small.

Uplifting

The warmth of the sun

brings a joy to every breast

as we breathe the spring.

Fragile Nature

Blossoms hang so frail,

their beauty never denied

as they falls so fast.

27/03/19

 

Crows

The carrion falls

and black cloaked hoods and sharp beaks

peck a ready meal.

Days Of Summer

A peckish picnic

laid down upon a plaid rug,

summer time is here!

Author's Note

Reviews

[Ken Simm.]

Extraordinary. I love this as I am doing something similar but not with such a strict structure and therefore nowhere near as elegant.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Ken. Simply sticking to the senryu format here with the odd haiku thrown in.

[Chris Shaw]

Ten more to savour. Packed full of imagery, each one a gem in its own right. On The Bank, is the best in my opinion.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Chris. Can't wait for that warmer weather to kick in and stay a while.

[Chris Shaw]

I think we all feel the same about that.

[gram linski]

Beautiful haikus of the soul, of nature, a tender Byronic heart, this one is for me, motherfucka, loved this

[John Alexander McFadyen]

wow i really love this piece! it drew me in instantly with the first stanza. it's all quite whimsical and transports me with all sorts of imagery. i like the simple feeling of content it brings me through the minimalist style. really great work!

Many thanks for reading. These are senryu, a Japenese poem with a syllable count of 5-7-5.
