This is a Senryu. This Japanese form of poem has 5-7-5 syllables format but it is different from a Haiku in the sense that it is related to Human nature
Windows of your heart, Keep open, let in Love; there's enough room for him.
Windows of your mind, Don't close, Mr. Knowledge's to come- Shouldn't you greet him?
Windows of conscience, Welcome Truth,Justice; mentors to you when in doubt.
Windows of senses, Open wide to Famous Five : Sight, Touch, Sound, Taste, Smell.
Windows of your soul, Open to Enlightenment; Your guide let him be.
This is collection of Senryu for THE WINDOW (POETRY WRITING CONTEST). I think I am not wrong in saying these are Senryu as they basically deal with human nature and human emotion.

This is a beautiful piece! I really like the word choice and the structure. This poem is simple yet powerful, which means the message goes a long way!
I love the message too. Nice work! Really nice work...
A very creative way to combine Senryu's together forming a poem that tells a very powerful story that humbles me, I can reflect upon and makes me understand what it's like to be a better human being. Favorited!

A amazing poem. With the set-up of the poem each set of lines making the poem stronger. I like the complete poem. Your logic is similar to my view on living. A perfect ending to a outstanding poem.
