Blood Grass

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes


     blood grass —
  all that's left 

of brave soldiers

 

 




Blood grass is a species of perennial grass native to Asia and introduced to other countries. It is a highly flammable grass, and can spread fires rapidly.

SENRYU/MODERN is about human nature and it doesn't include a season word (kigo). It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but brief. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. the em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Senryu usually doesn�???�??�?�¢??t have a title but in fanstory we have to have one.for more information click here collection of senryu ***** The Haiku Foundation of America

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
