Poetry Friday/Tiny Journal/Senryu
The joy of tiny handmade things! This poem is nestled into a tiny junk journal with – one cute staple to hold it together.
Today’s poem is a Senryu which uses the form of Haiku, but is more about human nature vs. the natural world. Although a Senryu is often satirical, it of course can be about whatever you’d like.
This is how I felt this morning:
Small things remembered
a kiss, morning dew, sunrise
gently holding hands
The cover of the tiny journal is a folded “old school” library card. It currently lives inside a larger journal in a little mesh pocket. It never gets old when I turn the page of the larger journal, to reread and rediscover the tiny treasures tucked inside.
I’m thinking of calling this size journal a “little darling.” This may be especially appropriate today as Mona @ MonaVoelkel is hosting Poetry Friday. Her Sandcastle poem uses “darling” through out:) Check out her beautiful poem and other wonderful poetry Friday poems linked on her blog.
Happy creating:) Jill

Jill, I am swooning over your little darling of a tiny book, and your perfect poem I love the “small things remembered” line because it seems we always do need that reminder. Thank you also for introducing me to the senryu form.Thank you for all this magic!!!!
Thank you, Mona! Appreciate your kind words and hosting Poetry Friday:) Yes to small things and to sandcastles that bring us together into imagination and the magic of words!
What fun to have tiny books tucked into little books with poems to be rediscovered!
Thank you, Mary Lee! So much fun to rediscover art and thoughts from your past in a journal!
I love how the tiny poem is “set” in a binding of a due date card–like a ring. Perfection.
Thank you, creative friend and a little tribute to the good old date due card:) Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
This is an inspiration as I am about to start my summer poem swap. I love the little poem and how it’s presented.
Hi Jone, thank you:) I was just reading your Summer is… and “chalkabration,” what fun and joyful ways to think about summer:) I’ve done art and happy mail swaps, but a summer poem swap sounds delightful!
A “little darling”! So fitting, Jill. I really like this one. I’m a sucker for tiny handmade things. 🙂
Hi Karen, thank you:) Yes, little handmade things are a day-maker! Hope your summer has some fun ones in store too:)
