Senryu Poems
The Measureless Motion
by Somali Mukherjee
The river flows on,
Though there are murky forests
On its either side.
Light Needed Within
by Somali Mukherjee
There's light everywhere;
Still, our hearts are full of murk;
We need light indeed.
Unintelligible Words
by Somali Mukherjee
The ocean behind
Seems to speak a lot of things;
We can't understand.
Self-deceived
by Somali Mukherjee
My heart's torn apart
Not by any, but by me,
The worst deceiver.
In Pursuit of Dreams
by Somali Mukherjee
Dreams fade not away;
Our active efforts bring us
The crown of glory.
Liefdesdans (Senryu)
by Mario Odekerken
Ogen ontwaken,
voeten raken per ongeluk,
zo begint het spel.
Doubt (Senryu)
by Mario Odekerken
Your eyes look away,
the pause between your answers
speaks louder than words.
Indecisive (Senryu)
by Mario Odekerken
Menu in my hand,
I want everything and none.
Waiter taps his pen.
Twisted thoughts (Senryu)
by Mario Odekerken
Twisted thoughts creep in,
smiles worn like borrowed costumes,
truth lost in the fog.
Blurry Vision (Senryu)
by Mario Odekerken
World melts at the edge,
truth and lies trade silhouettes
behind fogged lenses.
