Book of the Week: Cornflowers

Evelyn H. Hermann celebrated 10 years of writing senryu with this delightful chapbook (Small Poetry Press, 2003), which amply displays her humor, which, as the title suggests, is of a broad nature. Fun!

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

again she swears
   at her husband —
      again, the parrot

;after a full day’s work
   on the farm —
      counting sheep

in my angel hair pasta
   a human one, too

campaign breakfast —
   the candidates
      waffling

sexuality lecture
   at the library —
      fully booked

in the barber’s chair
   he trims down
      his haiku
