Sweet Angel and hot devil, from dew into ocean, I think I got it lol! Yes, she said "I love You", and it began... from the softest of emotions into the deepest ones, love flows... in every tiny place, in every single cell, sweeps like a flood... these few lines hold all the feelings of love, from the tender ones, into the burning passionate ones, that bittersweet need, that painful desire... to have, to share, to give and take love, to love and be loved!

That was quite vivid in its suggestiveness. Wow, it can make the reader burn at the collar, lol. Quite curious how it could be elicited with such brevity.

Thanks, Frederick,

For another read and your sizzlingly exclamatory review for this little hottie.
I suppose such inducement (in so few words) reflects the author's true inner nature. ; )

Which way … naughty or nice? ⁓ Richard 😈

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh my, I love, this...! Could you tell me what is the actual difference between the haiku and the senryu?

[Richard🖌]

Thanks, Kelly Dear,
That you love this little piece makes the effort to arrange and share it all the more enjoyable and rewarding for my humble efforts. : D
Kelly,
The Haiku and Senryu (in Western form) are precisely the same in 5/7/5 syllable structure, and differ basically in that the Haiku expresses "only" things of Nature and about seasons, while the Senryu expresses things of human nature with humor or irony, but we Americans tend to take whatever comes our way and utilize it to best fit our needs, let's say.

Hope that helps a bit, Kelly.
Thanks a bushel for coming by … big hugs! ⁓ Richard ; )

If you want the more intricate details of these forms, Kelly, drop me a PM and I'll be most happy to oblige. : )

[Delmar Cooper]

Being ignorant of the term I looked it up:
"a three-line ironic or satirical Japanese poem, similar in structure to a haiku"

I have read the poem. I have read the reviews. I am steadfast still in my bliss.
But, thanks for sharing.

[Richard🖌]

Hey, Delmar!
Thanks for getting deeper into the essence of this Senryu form and for finding favor with this little hottie! ⁓ Richard : )
