Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines

of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) 17 syllables in all. Senryu is usually written in the present tense

with 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.
