to have it come so easily.

I wrote this years ago:

Senryu

Hold my love lightly
like a seashell to your ear
and hear its music

I've tried to distinguish the difference between Senryu and Haiku, but just when I think it's clear, it leaves me again.

Haiku

The breezes of spring
brush gently the upturned face
a wet kiss of rain.

I think I posted these elsewhere on DU awhile back, but I can't rememmber where. Please post others of your "work."
