SENRYU is a Japanese poetic form similar to haiku. It's written in 3 lines with 17 syllables OR LESS usually in a shot/long/short form. Senryu is about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature. Senryu doesn't need a season word (kigo) but it's okay if you do. It never rhymes. It uses imagery.
