POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Some time back when I started experimenting with haiku form I wrote a short poem ' Haiku Not So Perfect' to express my difficulties. This is a revised version of it in Senryu form.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Classical poems came with meter with counting syllables, chasing feet. Today we have free verses (not blank) , why even prose verses and all sorts of freedom. But poem comes naturally when you think like a child, is not so? And the table of nine comes with lot of harmony. Any multiples of nine, if the digits are added the sum is nine. This Senryu comes with lot of colours.
