A Senryu Sequence

 A Senryu Sequence (no seasonal reference).

by Robert Kingston

London skyline
from a tent a man
stares into his hands

empty stomach
sharing a plight
on a distant shore

no justice
at the foreign office
an unpaid debt

lady in a lamp
no matter how hard
the rub

at home
an innocent child
with nowhere to run

Fight for Nazanin Zagari-Ratcliffe

  1. I see how the sequence follows on. But it's still a hostage situation...

  2. A few words, a significant meaning, a tiny beam of light that highlights just one of innumerable injustices within this dark world of shadows.
    Nicely woven Rob.
