I am trying something new–senryu. I have experimented with haiku, haibun and renku. Now having fun with senryu.*

These 3 senryu were published this month in Failed Haiku edited by Michael Rehling online. Here are 3 failed haiku senryu. (what a name?!?)

    To the Mouse:
    Yes, Failed Haiku is an online publication. The name is not my favorite. I think Prune Juice is another Senryu line publication. I’m going to look into it today. Lurline Ikeda took the photo of me and I took the picture of the clouds.
    Thank you for your comments.
    I think you would be good in Senryu.

    Playful senryu. I like this side of you. Great image as well.
    Failed Haiku? An online publication?
