Haiku Musings

Senryu is basically a poem that uses haiku form to talk about things and events in the human world. Whereas haiku focuses on nature, senryu looks at us.

Now, one of the reasons I like haiku is that it gives me a chance to escape from the world of people. I like people, but I also like getting away from them and just experiencing nature. Haiku allow me to do this. Afterall, the human drama just gets tiring after a while. I'd rather spend my time contemplating the beauty of nature than discuss grandma's penchant for jewelry or some other inane topic.
