Best Senryu Poems
a puppet dances
to its own merry tune
no strings attached
----------------------------
[Inspired by Jan Allison’s
poem “Love is Bind”]
Two peas in a pod
One still on Earth, One with God
Together Always
Inspired By Nathan Leccese"s Contest "Two Peas In A Pod"
3rd Place
sweet zephyr breezes
jasmine empress butterflies
rainbows in our sky
silence once golden
angelic voices trumpet
song of the poet
unity breeds strength
moonbeams in togetherness
sunlight for each one
living in the now
join the love revolution
smile on your brother
seeker of eden
no longer searching alone
bards in harmony
Full moon on Christmas
Werewolf chasing Santa's sleigh --
A howling good time
Not for any contest. Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a great New Year!
there is a bright side
to the dark
let your I adjust
MagiCicada13
when air-brushed stars croon..
my soul sways, tied to the moon
lost in twinkling tune
seeking for rose light
from plum reveries tonight~
questioning twilight..
am I not fine art
metered refrain to restart
music of your heart..
but will rivers heed
thoughts that stream in neon fields~
of teal auroras ..
swirling and twirling…
vinyl rhythms of warm astral~
spirits cloaked in sage…
in silence, I dream
in a bed of lilac clouds~
of you, me, and love..
a red butterfly
stirred me from my crimson sheets-
kissed my scarlet lips

Second Place
awkwardly I dance
because I have two left feet
hard to find partner
I watch you dancing
it seems you have two right feet
let us share some shoes
will you follow me
for if we move together
dance will have purpose
you move fluidly
my feet provide the structure
made for each other
no limitations
with artistry and purpose
we dance with the stars
life is not boring
we live within the rhythm
music from heaven
God is our maestro
leading us to forever
in death we won't part
symptom spectrum script
dosing who knows what roulette
will too strong to live
***
carved on a willow
our love growing out of reach
Darkness slithers in.
Mysterious, under my skin.
Cat, cuddles and grins.

Rhymeed Senryu
My aged mother
she can't understand English...
feels my poems by touch
she touches the words
her frail fingers caressing...
smile in wrinkled face
'write a poem for me'--
'all the poems are yours my maa...
your grandchildren'

he is tall and dark
gentle strong hands tender heart
brown eyes deep like sea
plant peace inside me
he gave me twelve red roses
pearly smile shining
warmth from His presence
thaws the coldest heart of stone-
winter becomes spring
