AUTHOR’S NOTE: Since I had never intentionally written a senryu I thought Ha’s prompt this week might be the perfect opportunity to try…so here it goes.

    Are the 2 haikus resonate each other?

      The haiku is supposed to have an emphasis on the seasons / nature while the senryu is to highlight something about the human condition. I don’t know if I succeeded in doing this, but I tried. :)

    I love these Dom! You should try senryu more often!

      They take more effort (not that I mind) than what I had originally though they would. I rather enjoyed it. :)

        No really — I do hope you write more of them. :)
