Cherita, Tanka, Senryu, Haiku & Gembun Poems by Sharon Ferrante
Cherita—
my tall tower
I tell an old story
to pillars on the walls
come late autumn
the tired roses
just can’t crawl
Cherita—
sweet autumn
no need
for worries
I too
will leave things
behind
Tanka—
a hundred voices
are singing in the river
what have I done…
I just asked for one
ghost in the waves
Senryu—
on the last train
the ghost of a boilerman
weeping
Senryu—
she runs away…
telling my neighbour
I’m a shaman
Haiku—
another new star…
a dragon has picked
his rider
Haiku—
touching me in the garden rosemary
Gembun—
leaving you
at the boathouse
wind must blow
for chimes to sing
