Gunpowder Plot – Senryu #2

 

November The Fifth

The story unfolds again;

Will it ever die?

 

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.
