For those of you who are not familiar with this poetic form (and I suspect there are many), here is a brief description:
SENRYU
A senryu is a three line Japanese poem structurally similar to haiku. It is unrhymed and the subject is based on human nature. It is usually satirical or ironic.
line 1 - 5 syllables
line 2 - 7 syllables
line 3 - 5 syllables
Kindness is viral.
Spread by random acts of love,
Watch the ripple grow.
Love has no limits
It is both the beginning
And the finale
Curiosity
Can move you forward or back
Mysteriously
Friendship is a gift
That will continue giving
If it goes both ways

You have inspired me.
That picture is so adorable.
Like the Haiku, it just flows
in and out like waves.

I hope I can find some time to try this form. I've just been so very busy the last week or so with work. And I'm just gearing myself up to start another busy day here ... down under! But first, my morning dose of OS first!
