Emotional love
Have you felt it too?
#Senryu
Three lines with the five-seven-five syllable pattern (or something similar)
Subjects tend to be related to human nature
So romance, ironic human behaviour, and various relationships.
Often, senryu tries to spark a laugh or "knowing moment. I "

The Soul Broker
(A seductive voice whispers.)
Hey
You
Beyond the holy lights
Want me
To make
You a star
Hey
You
Beyond the holy lights
Sat in your fortress
Reading this in sunlight or darkness
Safely
Seated
Hey
You
Beyond the holy light
Want me to make
You a star
Hey
You
Beyond the holy lights
With time as your
Loving whore
With hungry eyes
Quickly bored
Want me
To make
You a star
Call to me quick
Call to me
So you
I can pick
And fix
Pray for me
To appear
To rise by your side
And
Mama I'll make
You a star
All you have to do
Is sign in blood
A tiny prick
On your fingertip
And
Mama
And Mama
I'll make you
A star
