a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction
but is about human nature rather than nature.

Short Poem
Who else but you
conquered my kingdom
as the sun does,
confiscated boredom
and signed
the timetable
of dreams..!?
Poetry Jam
The prompt this week is "Daydream Believers".

"signed the timetable of dreams" -- just love that wording!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem.
I like the haiku ~ I think we all have those dreams ~
ReplyDeleteI second Mary's comment, I too love that!!
ReplyDeleteconfiscated boredom...smiles...i liked that much....the timetable of dreams line as well was killer...
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the senryu form too .. you presented us with two lovely gifts.
ReplyDeletevery nice, I love the packed brevity of this, love "confiscated boredom" and "signed
ReplyDeletethe timetable
of dreams"
Love the interplay between the haiku and the senryu...they each enhance the other so well! I'll echo what the others have said about "confiscated boredom" and "the timetable of dreams," both phrases are so vivid and original. Thanks so much for linking up with us over at Poetry Jam this week!
