Hand Puppets

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

         all that’s left of dad —

     shadow hand puppets

on the wall

 

 

 

 




Shadow Hand Puppets is a children's game. You use your hands to make shapes of animals, birds, etc ... on the wall

SENRYU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. Unlike Haiku, senryu is about human nature and doesn't need a season word. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. It's written in 17 syllables OR LESS and three lines. For Senryu you don't need a season word (Kigo)

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poems.
