Home > Japanese Culture > Senryu
Senryū (川柳) literally 'river willow'is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to
haiku in construction: three lines with 17 or fewer morae (NOT syllables) in total.
However, senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about
nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are serious.
Senryū do not need to include a kigo, or season word, like haiku.
