Grandpa Jogs

grandpa jogs
he can’t seem to outrun 
his age

he really tries
he’s good at finding
new wrinkles

With the smile that this puts on my face I would have thought it a senryu? Which ever way, what a great read, what a great write.

Scott, I think you are probably right, about the Senryu.

Love these kind that are based on ideas instead of the way they are always saying to do haiku.
