:: *chameleon*
climate fluctuates-
little color changer waits
basking on a stone
:: *a stroll*
dew drop turns to frost
crossing the park through the grass-
crisp and clear the sound!
:: *wandering*
lonely traveler
welcoming rain on his back
many months from home
:: *snowsounds*
owl greets the snowfall
silent night and wide awake
fieldmouse heeds the tune
For some reason, all these haiku have come out with a distinct feeling of serenity and loneliness, so i applied the theme “isolation” to the title of this article. I hope you find something interesting in it. Please let me know what you think.
tilled Andean hillside
under alpaca yarns
all of Ecuador shivers
safely locked posessions
traveler returns home
key lost in the dark
sleepless
a series of Senryū
swiftly surfaced
lay man prays
but quietly hates
the next day
family asleep
in separate rooms
peace at last
ink stains cross
scattered and wrinkled papers
another caffeinated night
As a beginner, this is my first attempt at writing senryu. This series tries to maintain the recurrent theme of sleep and darkness. I feel like some of my first attempts here lack the essence of true senryu, however, I’m keeping my head up.
