Category: Senryu Poems About Lovers

Your gaze
The space
before inhalation

Your gaze
The space
between breath

Date night
on the Ferris wheel
Flat tire

We awake
Red embers
beneath the ash

Wedding day
Garlic and onions
on the kitchen counter

Wedding night
Garlic and onions
on the kitchen counter

Peeling
hot peppers
The last time we cooked

Peeling
hot peppers
Rinsed our hands clean

Couple argues
Hot and cold pipes
beneath the sink

Two lovers
Those crawling
petunias

Lover’s padlock
on a chain link fence
Empty building

Lover’s padlock
on a chain link fence
Broken glass

Lover’s padlock
on a chain link fence
Smoke is rising

First kiss
Kettle steams

How we first met
Locomotive
smoke
