Friendship {Senryu}

The form of poetry here is the Senryu. A senryu is a three line verse, originating in Japan, that deals with emotions rather than nature. It is similar to the haiku, and has a 5 – 7 – 5 syllabic format.

I wish every one of my readers and friends, a very happy Friendship Day.

Many drops of care
Spilt in an ocean of love
Mixed with silliness

Sprinkled on life
To last an eternity
Truly, a priceless gift

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

  10. Beautiful senyru, Leo. Love is certainly a priceless gift. The beauty of it is that when we read your poem we can feel it because we can all relate to it
