Gunpowder Plot – Senryu #1
Let the fires be lit
Burn the Guy Fawkes effigy
Tell the tale again.
Senryū is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 syllables (usually 5 – 7- 5). Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often more cynical or darkly humorous than haiku.
