Senryū is a Japanese form of short poetry similar in construction to haiku: three lines with 17 or fewer morae (not syllables) in total.
Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are serious.
Senryū do not need to include a kigo, or season word, like haiku.
The form is named after Edo era haiku poet Senryū Karai.
Karai's collection Haifūyanagidaru launched the genre (and hence his name) into the public consciousness.
