Senryu: Sacrifice to Flowers

Sacrifice to Flowers

If there was a choice
what would you sacrifice to
flowers in the stream?

Senryu is a poetry form similar to haiku in structure, with the same 17 syllables, but covering different subject matter and themes. Rather than addressing the seasons the way haiku does, it tends to deal more in human nature and has more playful themes.

This is a thought provoking piece. I like the scene it creates in order to present the concept. I think the idea of a flower floating away in a stream gives bloom to a host of metaphors especially when presented with the question. This is a real treat for the reader. Thank you.
