After you read the link, you'll understand why I often think I should have named this blog "Sorta Kinda Senryu." But, as is obvious from reading my earlier writing, I didn't really know what Haiku were, let alone Senryu. And I'd heard of Tanka before, but never tried to write one. I've only written a couple. Here's one I wrote this morning.
Blackberry flowers,
white & delicate in the sun;
milk thistle purple
fringe on the green, thorny stalk;
nothing ripe yet.

Feeling guilty...
Feeling guilty,
she pulls up milk thistle
by the root.

Two Senryu? Two Somethings.
Waking a cat --
a flurry of furry fear,
then the look of Death.
-----
My back hurts again.
The weeds in the garden
rejoice!

Two
Hating the gray rain--
But the little purple flowers!
The grassy green hills!
---------
Cold rain beats the roof--
then yellow-breasted bird song
and warm sun.

Wrote a few today!
At last, bright Sun!
Even among the trash cans,
your rays touch and warm.
----
The green of the hills
dotted with mostly black cows--
sunny break from rain.
----
Toes poke out of holes.
Grandma's crocheted orange blanket--
I sure miss her.
----
Berry cobbler
made with just cake mix and berries.
I miss my grandma.
----
My other grandma
would cheat at cards a little
and laugh a lot.
