Senryu

Im on somewhat of a senryu binge lately.
Senryus are different from haikus in that haikus focus on nature while senryus focus on human nature.
A senryu has 17 syllables
It is 3 lines long
It has a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

Great guy. Great guy. Great.
Talk. Eat. Travel. Talk. Eat. Fight.
Bad boy. Bad boy. Bad.

Sweet boy from the south
I shared my heart, my secrets
Boy had a big mouth.

So in love with you
I hope I will never write
Another senryu.
