A Sampling Of Senryu Poems Higgins
I
Stephen King is here.
Expect horror and terror.
He is funny, too.

I like Senryu Poems.
They project a sharp image,
with five, seven, five.
III
A murder of crows,
a coven of black witches,
deep, deep, dark evil.
IV
An exaltation
of the singing birds called Larks.
They make pleasant sounds.

The poet critic
Randall Jarrell was nasty.
Young poets feared him.
VI
Editor/poet
Oscar Williams did quite well;
displayed poets’ works.

A woman’s presence
sweet and lush, inscrutable.
It keeps me in awe.

She is the mistress of fear,
the queen of haunting.

Acrylics dry fast.

Now I write with haste.

I dreamed I was stabbed.
Waking up I saw it was
A black mosquito.

Boston---good culture
Red Sox are now winning big
Is Babe Ruth’s curse gone?
