Category: Senryu Poems About Animals

Stallions
rear and rise
Morning shave

Nowhere to go but up
Giraffe drinks
from the stream

Monkey swings
in the jungle
Unfocused mind

Monkey swings
in the jungle
Focused mind

Higher education
Monkeys
in a tree

Crabs
on ice
The pot boils

Young buck vanished
in the morning light – Startled
to read my bathroom scale

The vacuum cord
won’t retract
Old dog sleeping

My poodle paws
at puddles – I rarely
get to play

Bouncing pup
The stranger’s
sing-song voice

Wake up
Where’s your
dog leash?
