Different Shades Of Senryu

Four topics, one style of poetry

 

A Commentary On Spiritual Senryu

 

Fallen angels prove

That we’re not far from heaven

If we mend our wings.

 

 

A Commentary On Society Senryu

 

Twiddle Dee is smart

But the company he keeps

Defines his image.

 

 

A Commentary On Politics Senryu

 

Power and money

Keep criminals in office

The people bail out.

 

 

A Commentary On Humanity Senryu

 

I keep hoping that

Nature’s colors ignite us

Into one bright hue.

Reviews

[Fire Mage Andrea]

Beautiful words of wisdom.

[Marie]

Very good. I especially liked the last one; then I realized I didn't want everyone to be the same colour...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you again… what I meant by that is hoping people stop seeing people as color and instead just see them for the human beings they are.

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed the wisdom and the logic in the words. I tell people the world is simple as the written words above.
"Power and money
Keep criminals in office
The people bail out."
The above Senryu is my favorite. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you kindly sir

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and we will mend our wings on our own time..but eventually we will repair them...

with no help from the criminals in office...they just care about power and money...and not wings and things....i keep hoping we can all become one color too, but the company we keep seems to destroy that image.

these are great...four totally different senryu that actually blend together as one, if we think about it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir, your reviews are intelligent and entertaining.

[redflutterby]

Amazing senryus Cowboy!! Each one has a powerful voice and substance. This is one of my favorite writes by you! Really love it...;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Wow thank you, that makes me smile.

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh I dig this. But I have to say, the twiddle dee one is my fave.:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is my fav too, thank you

[emmajoy]

I so like these, they show insight and wit, fine skill with wording and the genre itself.

A few more of these, Dale, you'd have a very publishable little book.. truly

(How about relationships, war, traditional poetry, modern art, car drivers, ambition, thugs, advertising, evolution, cities, the great outdoors, medicine, technology, shadows, genders, etc. etc.)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh my it looks like the classy lady is challenging me… I take that challenge.

[emmajoy]

Laughing, am so bossy! Truly am impressed.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you, I am not gonna do a whole book but I am gonna do another set based on some topics you suggested. Thank you

[Rita L. Sev]

LOVE these, Dale! My favorite is the Spirituality Senryu - There's hope in those mended wings...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you very much…. and yes there is and the power to heal is faith.
