The grand genre of senryu arises, when as a poetic form it expresses the full range of human emotions from comic to tragic That is the real face and voice of senryu that continues to echo through the centuries.

I am learning new forms of writing from my fellow bloggers and loving it. Today it is SENRYU day. Senryu is short poetry, in short.
SENRYU
All of sixteen-
watches the world with old eyes.
Innocence lost.

I hadn’t heard of this poetry form – but I like it! Thank you for sharing your words.
Enjoyed your haiku series and look forward to your senryu (even though haiku is my favourite). All the best with the pro blogger.
Wow, this is a new one for me. I have never heard of this poetry form. Thank you for introducing me to a new form of poetry
Very interesting form of poetry and your piece was very thought-provoking.
New poetry form for me also… but I like it… Was thinking to those moments when I meet kids or teenagers… and their eyes look like they have seen all the cruelty of the world.. harsh grown up eyes… I really liked it, Sulekha:-)
A beautiful photo and a lovely senryu to make it complete.
Could not refrain from writing this :
they admired my beauty
my gaze lowered
a child-bride , I am.
Oh this was heartbreaking!!
Much said in a few words. Absolutely beautiful penning.
