Sergey Dobrenkov Poet Senryu

Several Senryu

The free press is free
Unless it says something wrong
Then it is not free

* * *

He read the whole terms
He agreed to sell his soul
The font was too small

* * *

War is on the news
The anchors all wear nice suits
We change the channel

Gershon Wolf September 30, 2026 at 9:01 PM That last senryu hit home. ~ Gershon Wolf, an Israeli citizen married to a gal from Ukraine. It seems like endless war these days. Hoping the channel will change! Sergey Dobrenkov September 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM Thank you, Gershon! The horrifying truth about this war is that brothers and sisters are on opposite sides of the border… I hope they avoided being rounded up by the territorial recruitment centers.

John Lawless September 30, 2026 at 7:01 AM nice group of Senryu Sergey.....especially liked the second as I playfully tell people..."I should'a read the fine print".... Sergey Dobrenkov September 30, 2026 at 9:23 AM Thanks, John! Just for you, a few more senryu to cheer you up: I write a haiku— But it becomes senryu That is how we live. My cat sits on me. I cannot move for three hours. He is the owner. I sent a message. I wait for the two small dots. They disappear. Gone.
