Why am I crying?
I can't stop these hopeless tears
I'm never enough

I can't stop crying either...
Yeah I cried myself to sleep which is why I wrote this the next day
Oh im sorry
Nah don't be!
Have a good day 🙂
Crying is better than bottling up, working out what the tears are for is a lot harder, Hope you have a good day
Thank you for your thoughts, have a good day too
Thank you
Ooh I dunno - it's all foreign to me - haiku, senryu, whatever! Ask a more cultured poet what's the difference. lol.
Ha agreed, thanks
When the tears flow freely we come to a new realisation of self. Hope all is well. 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
What if your Imagination
Is waiting
For you to wake it
Up?
Very true...
Haiku and Senryu are very similar in that they both are 17 syllables long tercets (5-7-5). In a haiku, there is supposed to be a seasonal reference (kigo) and a cutting word (kireji) which, there is no direct equivalent in English. The kireji is supposed to create a pause, so this is usually achieved with punctuation, or sometimes even left out of an English haiku. A senryu, on the other hand, follows the same structure, but it does not include a kigo or a kireji, and the theme of a senryu is centered on human nature, emotions, relationships, and social issues, as opposed to the haiku which is centered on nature and seasonal elements. Of course, there are overlaps between the two, but that is the basic difference. I hope this helps. So, with that said, this is a mighty fine Senryu, my friend. One I can relate to and, also, one that answers its own question. The feeling of inadequacy can be a killer. I haven't known you long, but I can tell that you are MORE than enough! I am thankful our paths have crossed! 🙏❤️
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate it. Alas I finally understand! Thanks again, I’m glad I’ve been able to talk to you.
Yay! You are welcome! They're fun to play with...both forms. Same here. Truly a pleasure!
BRAVO
Thank you Tony!
