Senryu

The other day in Japanese class I was learning about senryu, a poetry with the same form as haiku (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables) but a lot less serious and often humorous in nature. My homework was to write one myself, so here it is for everyone to read:

日本語は
きっと簡単
子供なら

(Japanese is SO easy...if you're a child.)

My three sons Aidan, Eastin, and Coen have no trouble whatsoever conversing in Japanese, so why is it so difficult for me!?...

I actually wrote two more that aren't as good:

子の声が
目覚まし時計
ボタンない

(My child's cry may be the alarm clock in the morning, but where is the off button?)

音楽が
なければ駄目だ
生きられない

(A world without music? No way! I couldn't live in it.)
