A Senryu Poem

A wise man who’s stressed

Lives in air tight compartment

He does not complain

The wise man stays calm

His quiet heart brings answers

They solve his problems

The world wonders why

The wise man seems problem free

Steady, strong, and serene

Let’s strive to be so

Inner strength brings victory

Inspiring others

– – – – – –

A Senryu poem with features of 3 lines following 5 – 7 – 5 syllables.

A good challenge to crystallize ideas within a stated format and yet send a succinct message.

Senryu poems focus on human feelings.
