What's the plural of Senryu?

CORNY

 

Disney has taught me

that if I really love you,

I must set you free.

 

BACK THEN

 

Masturbation was

so much better before I

learnt the word for it.

 

E.D. CLOSET

 

Lurking amongst the

tiny hangers, you're your own

skeleton horror.

 

 

Author's Note

Can anyone remember the original version of the E.D. one? I know it used the word 'wardrobe' and that's all I can remember.

Like ziggy below, poetry is the best form of masturbation (HE started it B) Like this one here, better than sex even, well okay, about as good as self mastery can get with so few words. "Lurking amongst the tiny hangers" has an odd dark beauty. I sort of see your female self pleading not to be rejected here. And the plural of Sanryu? That'll be 5 cents...lol
Great idea and well pointed expression!

a la C. Boylan sarcasm at its very best . . .

Oh these are great!!! I have to agree that I liked the second and third one the best, but I liked the first one too... all the more for the sarcastic tone of saying "Disney has taught me..." LOL!

i liked the second and third ones best. and masturbation is a great word! the word is almost more filthy and vile than any of the slang terms for it. it is my humble belief that the word should appear in at least one third of all poetry, after all. isnt poetry really masurbation? just a vile way of talking to ourselves? great work here, enjoyed it very much. zig

[JP thinks the WC is apt..]

The middle one is priceless. Yes, it was fun before we learned it was shameful. Makes me wonder what other things we could get away with, if only we enjoyed such blissful ignorance.

The first one is very knowing and sarcastic, which I can appreciate. And the third - I didn't get the reference exactly but the imagery is good and ties in nicely with the shame theme of the previous senryu.
