Senryu is a Japanese unrhymed poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Senryu’s poetic form is structurally like haiku but instead of addressing physical nature, it addresses human nature. Like haiku, the traditional 5/7/5 syllable sequence has given way to a less formal poem. You may see additional or fewer syllables which is acceptable if the human nature aspect of the poem is intact.
