Henry VIII and Senryu

Rozina

 

"Anne can't bear me sons.

I'll try Jane. Trump up crimes NOW.

Off with Anne's head FAST!"

I was reading about Henry the 8th and suddenly wondered whether he used 5/7/5 lines. Trying this out for a second time inspired by Teddy's recent senryu.

    doubt it, too busy
    taring up the theological foundations
    of his country, so he can get one more wife
    to die trying to give him a son
    cause you know, his daughter's weren't enough..
    a total madman,
    a one name answer
    to anyone who thinks, royalty
    is something that benefits modernity,
    (he did write poetry though)
    lol
    thanks for sharing, a fun read

      Thank you. What a character he was.

      Good old Henry.
      This is the guy that empties discos and gets women running for the hills. In saying that, was it six who fell for his charms.

        I think I could break a racing record if I saw him around! Six that we know about, maybe dozens behind the scenes!

        I'm beginning to understand this senryu thing and I'm liking it. And I love the Trump correlation with crimes. Kudos!
