Before I joined PS I'd never heard of a Senryu. I love the form! Very clever David..I note all your superb examples of the form. Do you have to think long and hard when writing them or do the words and ideas just spring to mind? Cheers - Gary

That’s just my style, but you might develop something different yourself they can be tricky, or come together really quick, cheers David

Thanks Gary, usually a theme pops into my head, I write it down, then study it like a cryptic crossword clue, which I love doing, and from the words at hand, I start do decipher relevant solutions, which in turn creates another line, then try bring the two lines together with a third, but the great thing is I sometimes go off on abstract tangents, and the whole idea morphs into something else, use the title to get you out of trouble as well,
