Exceptional Senryu 2024 Gypsy's Haiku : Trying to Keep Warm by Gypsy Blue Rose

homeless man sits by laundromat dryer vent— covered in dirty rags               Recognized Author Notes A reviewer asked me why didn't the homeless man go inside the laundromat to get warm. The reason is that a lot of business owners tell homeless people to get out. I was a social worker for homeless people for three years. A lot of folks treat homeless people as if they are invisible or a nuisance they don't want to see. There is no affordable housing and tent camps are destroyed by police or city workers over and over. It's a very sad and hard life to live. 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. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poems. Gypsy "Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason." - Novalis pictures from pinterest
