senryu: mga senaryo sa boardwalk sa atlantic city

"Senryu is the same as haiku except, instead of dealing with Nature, it is specifically about human nature and human relationships and is often humorous." - The Haiku Anthology, Cor Van Den Heuvel















hangin nangwalis
amerkana mikipi
tsikboy nanaghoy

naa’y mibarog
bisaya mipungko
bangko init pa

hubog nibarag
mga bigot nagbaha
tulda miharag

seagull misakdap
iti nitugpa’s abaga
shit! pu’ng sa turka

sus, taw naglawod
amahan nagpanakla
ang bata nawa’
