James Horn Poet Senryu

From Friend About Poems

This was wrirren by a friend of mine who lives in Victoria, Canada

My Messy Thoughts of Poetry in Japanese Senryu  

1- Poetry & Me
it costs me nothing
it doesn’t bring me profits
I write just for fun

2- Poetry & Freedom
poetry is free
from any competition
why not play with words?

3 -Poetry & Fine Art
play with words for fun
not for any damned profits
like starving artists 

4- Poetry and Giving Birth
writing poetry
not give birth to a baby
please don't push too hard

5- Poetry & Work 
wanna write or not
it's freedom of poetry
not for a living

6 -Poetry & Merry-go-round
why care how it sounds?
why worry what people think?
on merry-go-round

7- Poetry & Writing Bloc
why do I not chop
my writing block to pieces
sharp japanese swords

8- Back to Poetry and Me
I take a good break
go with the flow of the day
not torture my mind
