Oh, You Little Senryu, You
Oh, you little Senryu, you
You mock the moment
Of the Haiku
Here’s a challenge
I dare with you
Try to write a Tanka too
When writing Haiku
Take a break
For all that counting
Makes the fingers ache
The answers are all overdue
As to what it is
The Senryu knew
Of syllables
Of mythic mirth
Of those who walk
Upon the earth
So I shall continue
In my quest
For poetry
Ain’t no pass/fail test
