Seasons are to change Day, dawn, night, all circles back; Yet real’ty discolors.
Seasons, time of day, and features of landscapes Poems that do not adhere to these rules are tag as Senryu
But no decree is more glorious than love
For the sake of lines, rhymes, and syllables,
Is there anything that transcends the loop of rapture?

She Would Bath’d with Roses Red
by Jessica Mae Galicto
A sight to hold dear
Burgundy petals showered
You’ll bloom, faint rosy
Toast the cherry wine
Together ‘till rose and bones
From garden to vault

And Violets Blew
by Julia Fye Manzano
The moon spills silver
Young violets - gold, and prose
On a banquet bard
Cast out by Eros’s tears
Kiss of a broken ballad
We are temple’s bound

And All the Sweetest Flowers
by Assumpta Gonzales
Garden as heaven
Where all the sweetest love blooms
She’s in spring season
Cherry as tulips
And all the white, pink peonies
She’s Valentine's dream

That in the Forrest Grew
by Shawn Pangan
Two souls wandering
As the forest trees sprouted
Their hands intertwine
Perched within the woods
Through the sequoia shadows
Endless love’s concealed
