Senryu: The point of pain is within love

A Japanese form of poetry. This poem shows us that our point of pain is always found in love. When we follow that point back into love, we will find the point of the point of pain being in love.

Senryu: The point of pain is within love

My pain kept its sting,

alive within life's struggle.

My love remained hurt.

Love has a point of its focus, in our pain, crystallised there, until we use our hearts to melt it, or we can see the crystal for what it really is, a point of focus of love...

Yes...and the only thing that can heal that pinpoint of pain is love...powerful poetry!

[zennedpen]

Thanks. Love is the only power that can heal anything really.

Anything else just sticks bandaids over our pain, troubles, misunderstandings etc., etc., etc.

True.............!

like the minutia of my daily effluvia
a reflection of consumption
my poetry only I can appreciate

could this be senryu?

[zennedpen]

Well, it does have 3 lines.

But to be a proper senryu, usually other rules must be met too.

I’m not a rhythmist
I can’t find the clicks
Yet, I see ironic meaning
Beatnik haiku

Translation is treason
A proverb says
Original haiku in my language
Betrays the words
Intuition tells me

Haiku: Nature Speaks

Haiku is unique.
Haiku relates to nature,
letting nature speak.

[albee]

Very good, thank you, and
She always speaks in present tenses

[zennedpen]

Yes, nature always lives in the moment of its own moment.
