senryu of childhood

American Village - La Mazure 2010

dreaming of princes
in a most childish state
unrealistic

crayons stuffed in holes
garden filled with many toys
children live inside

birth of prophecy
childhood Armagedon
rank hysteria

those childhood friends
lost for several decades
link to each other

end of childhood
complicated histories
professional poetics

Four Senryu of Resolve

Rodin's The Blogger

love weighs down the brain
to an obsessive resolve
grips it like a vice

staunchly admire
community elders
enduring resolve

brave souls scrutinize
merging minds with something new
heart-racing resolve

value, don’t debase
pro action ere reaction
resolve to evolve

Five Senryu of Review

Five Senryu of Review

review your email
after a long vacation
so much nasty junk

December morning
review important events
before it’s too late

review your routine
be proud of your commitments
else adjust your days

count your sheep at night
review your accounts by day
don’t mix the numbers

clean your minds thoughts
banish negativity
balanced brainpower
