Best Senyru Poems
SCARRED FOR LIFE
children are screaming
they have the thousand mile stare ~
traumatised for life
TEARFUL GOODBYES
at the rail station
dad's hug their wives and children ~
say goodbye with tears
GUTLESS COWARDS
cowardly russians
indiscriminate firing ~
a mound of rubble
MEN AND WOMEN OF HONOUR
proud ukrainians
their bravery unsurpassed ~
russians retreating
HARBINGER OF DOOM
sounds of the cities
the wail of air raid sirens ~
herald deaths approach
LOWEST FORM OF LIFE
lone women and kids
predators and peadophiles ~
preying on the weak
PERVERTED COWARDS
men and women
stripped and humiliated ~
russian physchopaths
ANSWERING THE CALL
non ukrainians
International legion ~
help fight aggression
MASS MURDERER
visions of grandeur
twisted ideologies ~
vladimar putin
AN HONOURABLE MAN
the man of the hour
president vol zelensky ~
stands with his people
UKRAINIAN STATE FLAG
bright blue and yellow
a symbol of defiance ~
flutters in the breeze
WRITTEN 30TH MARCH 2022
in one last death gasp
a son calls with a sad sigh
it is done father

For the contest Easter Haiku or Senryu

First Place
just now, how your smile
lightened my day and did chase
dark shadows away
at doctor's office
Virgin magazine waits
to be fingered
12/1/11
a starfield swaying
shooting stars gather in piles
jars full of star dust
, one, two, three
eleven,
her son counts ,
Forlorn fibers fly
ruby refuse recoiling
morose motors mulch
FALL.
shadow in the aisle
where a friend and I
once stood
a slap in the face…
challenge not a disgrace
rhymes to interlace
Precis of perception - insights aloud
dramas of life - disclosed
check my blog for my audio link
One man, many thoughts
Some intelligent, some not
One versatile brain
Deep inside himself
Waiting for acknowledgement
Is a better man
To heed your true self
Be open minded, patient
Take a deep breath, leap.
two unlikely pairs;
spontaneous rendezvous -
your eyes met my glance.
She don't want to hurt
Anymore than you do, Love
Let her be free now

Be the enchantress,
Drive them to loving madness,
Watch the moon undress.

Glints of Spring starlight
Light April ‘s flowers tonight
Hearts melt in moonlight
