About this series
SENRYU Vol.1 is a collection of 'human haiku' or 'senryu' poems by Noel Lorenz. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. I have tried to extract the sweetness of haiku in this book and still stick to the short-long-short format. In my experience, the English and Japanese use the syllabic count differently. Whatever we write cannot be compared to the real count in Japanese 5-7-5.
In this book, I have taken haiku to another level by allowing the free count. This book follows short-long-short verses. I have tried my best to stick to all other rules of haiku.
Come to haiku with an open mind and allow it to set in.

- Haiku: Japanese Poetry, #1
1
This is the first book of Haiku by a simple zen practitioner, Noel Lorenz. Haiku is an ancient Japanese form of unrhymed poetry which is mostly popular for its small size. It consists of only three lines capturing the essence of the moment pictured in it, where crafty juxtaposition plays its role. It has 17 syllables in total, spread in 5-7-5 across three lines. The author of this book has been practicing Japanese Zen meditation for several years. He has already published four books and a few more books are in the pipeline for 2020.
