Senryu is an unrhymed form much like Haiku but with a humanities theme instead of a nature theme. It records the essence of a moment and consists of three lines with the same count of 5 7 5 .

Every day, same time He comes alone to sit there. Quietly feeds birds.

The sweet solace of a single soul communing in God's light. Projects a vision that is whole in knowing it is right. :)

It's good they have a place to go and the birds and squirrels depend on them. It gets them out of the house or small apt. It's sad they are alone though. At least in the park they can meet others. Thanks bunches my friend. Glad you like it. God Bless, JB
