Richard Lamoureux Poet Senryu

Existence

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

Brenda Rose July 23, 2015 at 11:48 PM I did not know this form of poetry genre. As the master of poetry you are you did a beautiful job. I was just wondering if there was a reason for no capitalization? As always a 7! You are a versatile poet talented with many types of poetry. Mine are all rhyme. Thank you once again. Richard Lamoureux July 24, 2015 at 12:12 AM Mainly because it is an Asian form and like a haiku I have not used capital letters.
