senryu

If you can count syllables, you can write a senryu [Sen-REOO]. It doesn't rhyme, and it doesn't need a title. Senryu is a Japanese form of poetry similar to the haiku, since it is made up of only three lines with the same syllable pattern of 5-7-5. It is the subject matter that makes a senryu different. While a haiku deals with nature and seasons, a senryu dwells on people matters; it can even be funny!
2 First let's look at how a senryu breaks down into a total of seventeen syllables.



I doze on the couch. 5 -I/doze/on/the/couch.
The cat moves in, making a 7 -The/cat/moves/in/ma/king/a
Bed of my stomach. 5 -Bed/of/my/sto/mach.


gone

can't feel anything
but the coldness in my heart
because you're gone now
