3 Senryu

3 Senryu

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

3 Senryu

 

 


losses

 

 

stocks in love have dropped

trust is a commodity

the value broken

 

 

 

a simple fracture

 

 

tripped on thoughts of you

sprained the knowing in my heart

felt the love bone break

 

 

 


superfluous adjectives

 

 

superlatives fly

best girl, best love, ex-partner

ex-best memories

The most simple things can turn so complex and before we know it we are on a roller coaster of piecing pieces together and what better methods to use than a delicate senryu...only adds more emotion and power to the emotion underneath...beautiful Jacob...

Clever, tongue in cheek excellence, jacob. Seems there's little you can't do with words!

Don't doubt you could fill a book with more of the above!
