My heart yearns for you
While the Lover’s Moon hangs high
You don’t answer me

I’m obsessed
Lover’s Moon hangs high
No answers

*

Passion
Lover’s Moon
Alone

This was written for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge. Being the third Tuesday, an image was our prompt. The image was provided by Ritu Bhathal. I chose a Senryu, and tried in all three formats – 5/7/5; 3/5/3; 2/3/2.

The hidden moon in a winter sky reminded me of the full moon last week and the recently passed Valentine’s Day. Combining the two with a hint of irony, well, that poems were my answer ;) (I took the below photo a little over a week ago)

Trent, that lasy Senryu is so powerful! That is the one I’m going to use in the book. Credit is to you in the Bibliography and you retain all rights. Love these!

  Thanks, Ritu. Looks like both of us were inspired by your photo to do a triple senryu :)
