Current Event Sunryus is a blog that interprets various news items into the ancient Japanese art of senryu.
What is a senryu?
Senryus are the dark versions of haikus. The syllable count is the same in both (5-7-5) but while haikus are nature related, senryus deal with human foibles and flaws. Think of haikus as Captain Planet while senryus are the evil version that all the major bad guys made in that very special two-part episode.
Why are you doing this?
I love senryus and the challenge of saying a lot in only 17 syllables. I hope you get a kick out of this as much as I get doing it many times daily
