Définitions
HAIKU and SENRYU are miniature poems that give expression in simple language to fleeting moments of heightened awareness.
They suggest, rather than narrate.
Their "success" depends on a capacity to suggest; the thrill is of something unsaid.
The form of three lines arranged in 5-7-5 syllables is not an essential but a guide.
Deliberate rhyme is considered "too much".
SENRYU treat of human situations, often humourous or satirical.
