Goutam, what a fabulous senryu poem. With this challenge, we take the words (circled and squared) and find synonyms to use instead of the actual words. I use https://www.thesaurus.com/ to find my synonyms. I hope you’ll continue to join in.

I see! Thank you for the clarification. Will keep that in mind for future challenges. Thanks so much.

The way to remember the difference is that haiku is nature related. Senryu are about human responses to the world around them. Some Senryu are even funny which is great fun for the poet. ❤️

Thank you so much for this. Yes, I read about the difference between the two on the net this morning. I do not have much knowledge about the technicalities of writing any of them; or even poetry for that matter. It’s just that I am passionate about it and trying to learn the intricacies because I am fascinated by the brevity of words to put across a beautiful thought. Thank you so much for enlightening me on the finer aspects.

Thank you so much for re-blogging. Makes me happy to know that you liked it. This is, incidentally a Senyru and not a Haiku. Colleen was kind enough to point that and educate me about it the other day.
Thanks again. 😊
