Very nicely contrived, Sara. :) john P.s Just realized how close the difference is between Haiku and Senryu. Might have to rethink some of mine regarding which is more likely to be which.

I was confused about the two as well...my hubby said that a Haiku is about nature while Senyru is about humans, emotions, etc. Probably an over simplification, but it helped me. Wishing you a pleasant evening & thanks for visiting, Sara

I love books as well...I can't go into a library or bookstore without leaving with a book in my hand. Thanks for your visit and for your 'sweet' comments. You're the best, hugs, Sara

All experience or knowledge is accessible around our backyard and so much within reach. By watching life around us, we can learn so much. Through the pages of books, we can travel from world to world. Wonderful senryu.
