Six Senryu Poems by Bonnie Scherer

 

Senryu

the things

that move me —

prune juice

 

//

 

ⓗⓘⓖⓗ noon …

another glass

of Beaujolais

 

//

 

salty sand

between pink toes —

shrimp cocktail

 

//

 

poker face -

playing my best hand

in the game of life

 

//

 

moonshine      how it sparkles in your eyes

 

//

 

flying high

on overripe berries -

my wax wings
