Three Joyful Senryu

Three Joyful Senryu

blissful in the moss
leprechaun caught sleeping
snoring carelessly

receiving a bonus
instead of a new tax hike
jollification

joyful to catch a fish
shivering on a rough beach
tempting bait of hook

Written for:

The assignment was Toss six words above your head, select three pairs of two, then write a poem describing those relationships of words.  My words were: snore   moss   bonus   tax   bait    beach.

I used  Brain Training for Creativity – Random Word Generator, to find these words.

I decided to combine prompts with the following, and created the above Senryu.

Prompt: Joy

About zongrik

For those of you who do not know the handle "zongrik," that would be Bat-Ami Gordin. Most people call me "Tammy." Bat-Ami means "daughter of my nation" in Hebrew. It's a heavy name to carry around. I answer to either name. I also answer to "mama." Some Basic Things about me: Animal lover, mom, poet/writer, dramatic soprano, photographer, teacher/tutor, CERT/Technician and, oh yeah, aerospace engineer. I consider myself "The Astro-Poet." To learn more about the origins of the word "zongrik" see whats-a-zongrik?

  1. I love the idea of a leprechaun caught sleeping! I enjoyed this.

  2. In a magical moment when leprechauns sleep,
    They can be caught if you slowly creep,
    And once he’s safe within your hold,
    He can be tickled until he gives up his gold.

  3. Those were wonderful, zongrik! The snoring leprechaun made me smile. Thanks. 😀
