5D+Poetry+Senryu

//A Senryu poem is a "haiku with attitude." It is a poem written in the haiku form, but with wit(fun) and insight. It was once a popular part of writing contests held in teahouse and wine shops during the 1700's. In the haiku, we make observations about the nature world, but in the senryu, we make observations about human nature.

These are some very funny senryu from our class.//
