a senrYou from ianabroad
Music created by Jordan Powell.
SenrYou is a cultural project which encourages anybody to write down a thought but in a structured format loosely based on the ancient and original Japanese Haiku.
The structure insists on each SenrYou consisting of just 17 syllables with 5 on the first line, seven on the second line and 5 syllables on the 3rd line. so 17 in total. That's the only rule.
You can write about anything, it can rhyme or not rhyme - it's up to you. It might make sense to people or it may not. So long as it makes sense to you. We hope that it touches some readers or viewers no matter how ephemeral that might be.
So go ahead, ponder and start to create your own SenrYou. Send your submissions to us by email to [email protected] and we will take it from there.
All you need is a pen or a pencil, a scrap of paper and your fertile imagination.
Go for it!
