Cerulean sky and other Senryu…

Published in Prune Juice, A Journal of Senryu, Kyoka,

In addition to three haiga published in Prune Juice, there were also these senryu:

walking meditation
worries follow
in shadow

cerulean sky –
the wild sea air
tousles my thoughts

barren –
even the word
is devoid of hope

promises not kept—
that umbrella you gave me
blows inside out

This stormy, but fun, vintage illustration is from a 1911 book illustrated by Oliver Herford (1863-1935)
