Senryu
you bearded, woolly
coconut-nosed palm trees are
hov’ring over me
Haiku
clear skies paradise
palm fronds ripple in the breeze
laying on the sand

Susi’s challenge:
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus consist of three lines in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
