leaving...
Duncanville rain falling
on the bus

#senryu

red beans simmer
in the shodyær...
nothing...nothing...

#senryu

child again:
running in the warmth
of other suns

#senryu

on a hook
in a kitchen corner —
granmær's faded apron

#senryu

these odd shoes
i wear—
field of cosmos

#senryu

burning passion...
even over coffee
i want you

#senryu

granmær's expletives...
hiding outside
behind the fig tree

#senryu

half-burned cane
in the distance
the great house

#senryu

soft scent
of Nerine lilies
summer's departure

#senryu

arriving October
granpær's suspenders
on the clothing line

#senryu

When i saw this and saw Dr. Goldstein/Professor Shinoda's translation of "Romaji Diary" by Takuboku where they retained his three lined form; I immediately started thinking about #senryu being written with a tankaesque flavor. This is when I abandoned ever going back to live in #haiku town lol

after toiling around with #haiku for years, i walked to the other side of town into #senryu city. Even there I was frustrated. There, in that town; the focus was always on good-time, sarcastic, bar-drunk, lewd, nasty satirical etc. pieces. I understood the history and culture of...

days of lassitude
nights filled with impending doom
tilt towards lunacy

sharp spasms...
leaving the dishes
on their own

Twilight Solitude :

Remnants of violet,
Dreamy skies in Starlit eyes-
Tacitly Tactile ~

quite simply
silly—how he thinks ...
warm rainpour

#senryu

coffee spill...
i'm not tethered to
this 'right now'

#senryu

hot coffee—
in the sun praying
with eyes closed

#senryu

It's easy to say

Don't panic, slower pleasures

But, all things must pass
