SENRYU AND VANGUARD HAIKU

From time to time, I will post here some of my poems in my forthcoming book, HAIKU AND TANKA HARVEST until it is published. Here is a section on Senryu and Vanguard haiku.

A senryu a day drives your shrink insane. - V. P. Gendrano's aphorism.

Following are samples of senryu I have written and published these past five years.
