Excellent modern senryu One Thousand Cranes : Criss-cross Roads by Gypsy Blue Rose Para Papa

criss-cross roads over fields of forget-me-nots — painful old scars         Author Notes Forget-me-not is a kind of flower Senryu is similar to Haiku but it focuses on human nature, psychology, and mind. Senryu can make use of poetic devices such as simile, personification, and metaphor. It can also employ puns, parody and satire. Unlike haiku, senryu are not reliant on a seasonal reference, but they DO occasionally use them. Senryu can be humorous but many express the misfortunes, the hardships and woe of humanity. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem. Gypsy Sensei
