    SENRYU 川柳
    (sin-rew)

    A Japanese 3-line, unrhymed form of mostly human theme, similar to the Haiku in that it consists of 3-lines of 5/7/5 syllables each, completely without punct…Read More

    • SPECIAL NOTES:

      [example 1, of course, violates the no rhymes rule, but I wanted to show it anyway as a possibility of using the basic Senryu format’s flexibility]

    • Passionately penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend, this had a little R&B sass to it. Dig it. Nice arrangement with the rhythm section driving the vehicle as an accompaniment to these bars you’re slinging. It’s Fire!! Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Interesting you use the word sass…my nickname as a child was Sassy. Guess it never faded. Thank you, my friend 😊

    • WHOA!!! Willow, this is 100% passionate, sensual… sexy!!
      Love this line: “fire infused and filled with intention”. I swear, as I read this line, I could feel Heat spreading out from the computer screen and melted my keyboard. WTH, now I have bandaged fingertips…😎 now where did I put that fire extinguisher??!! Loved the music and singing.. I give it 100 snaps, 10 Hell Yeses, and sway the hips danceable!

      Curt

      • Well damn! That’s a lot! Much appreciated! I don’t have a fire extinguisher but Volupta routinely had me hitting the cold shower with her erotica. So I get it! Thank you, Curt 😊

    • I read this without the music, then listened to it. Both ways show the heat you were trying to convey. I love the part where you say he loves your mind. It’s a potent thing.

      • According to him, my body is banging but without my mind, it’s just anatomy. He never leaves me questioning my value in the space of us. Thank you, Fia 😊

    • A great piece of dedication and spiciness, tight one Lady

    • Full of passion and power. Tremendous work.

    • Brilliant work. Powerful.

    • Well done, Brenda. I like this.

      • thank you graciously dearest Adagio I didn’t write anything yesterday so I thought I would today I’m glad you liked it ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend, I know what it’s like to sing the blues. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Chère C.,
      Breath everyday – write everyday.
      But then, i don’t have this nice artwork.
      With the whole picture you draw me in.

      Keep on keeping on, said Curtis.
      Warm regards, Gus

      • hello dearest Gus good morning I try to write everyday not everyday is great thank you for the love on this ❤️

    • Powerful work. Excellent.

      • good morning dearest Thomas hello thank you for showing me love on this ❤️

    • You’ve strung together the notes of pain very well. Perhaps singing the blues can be just as cathartic as writing about them. We can only hope.

    • Those solem moods are tricky. We can’t always keep them locked down. And then others feel the dark coolness of their touch. Beautifully written, Brenda 🧡

      • good evening beautiful Willow yes they are and they come from nowhere somtimes… thank you for the love here ❤️I wrote a poem called Nostalgia about you and other poets…

    Sea Glass

    In the sea of blue-green glass The cracks and slivers are camouflaged Beauty entices and invites you to touch Unaware minute cuts into unsuspecting skin When eyes focus You see the warped and corrupted shards Lessons learned and ingrained into the subconscious As blood drips and...
