Rainbow within her : Senryu (Letters from the soul #18)


Sundry emotions
Autumn and spring coexist;
Rainbow within her.

She frames the rainbow
In the pristine white pages;
Plays the song of life.

Unaware, she is
How many lives the rainbow
Touches and uplifts.

Note: This is a Senryu (also known as human haiku). It is a Japanese poetry form that follows the syllable count of 5-7-5 like that of a haiku. While haiku is used for describing nature, Senryu talks about human emotions or human nature. It is a three-line, unrhymed verse that is usually written in the present tense.
