Gaiku-ryu 四十

-  Gyoga Chujo ([米人 - 俳句] Haiku/Senryu)

Epigram: a short, often satirical poem dealing concisely with a single subject and usually ending with a witty or ingenious turn of thought. Is this an English definition of Senryu?

TRIBE

each of us is part

of a larger organism; 

life within a life ✍🏼 

THE DOCTOR

timey-whimey 

bobbly-whobbly;

doctor is who ✍🏼 

a life mystery 

to test the minds creativity; 

poirot's little grey cells ✍🏼 

man no variation

a creature of habit;

solitude of peace ✍🏼 

there is no future

there is only presence;

imagine tomorrow ✍🏼

don't waste time 

for time will waste you;

death stands present ✍🏼 

IN NOW

now is a rolling

period of three seconds;

a spacious present ✍🏼 

each moment exists

not successive moments; 

save short term memory ✍🏼 

history is cluttered 

the future is cloudy;

the present is blurred ✍🏼 

every moment

while altering the last;

reach fo our memories ✍🏼 

past and present

create possibilities; 

human after all ✍🏼 

murder so foul on

choppy muddy waters;

let express run on ✍🏼 

floating leaves float

till the dryness release them;

diving in the pile ✍🏼 

leaves fall

rake-em away;

they're BACK  ✍🏼 

when you are away

we miss you terribly so; 

but you will return ✍🏼 

ELDERS

honor elders

they sacrificed for us; 

honor is survival ✍🏼 

taking advantage 

of those who came before;

is to stoop so low ✍🏼 

consider one's longevity

it speaks volumes;

honor our elders ✍🏼 

our elders

the way we treat them;

auta be ashamed ✍🏼 

living long

and to prosper;

tap that resource ✍🏼 

when next you see

your grandparents; 

give-'ema friggin hug ✍🏼 

NATURE’S WAY

man is violent

as natural as breathing; 

don't fight nature's way ✍🏼 

unquiet dead

walking the streets nightly;

got nothin on vampires ✍🏼 

HALLOWEEN

day of the dead

not just any day mind you;

All Hallows'eve ✍🏼 

great pumpkin patches 

carved with goulish faces; 

treating the brown kid ✍🏼 

secrets are secrets

kept in safe places;

layer your security ✍🏼 

when things go bump 

politeness builds calmness; 

be polite or not ✍🏼
