A collection of senryu, mostly published on Twitter (@haikuinen) in response to various poetry promts. My thanks go to the people who take the time to provide these prompts.

in the park
dog exercising his man
both out of breath
---
needle on the floor
you can almost hear
the haystack fall
---
a grey afternoon
stuck on the sofa
the remote and I
---
stickers in their backs
lapwings are back for summer
return to sender
---
anticipation
all eyes on the bus stop
look the same way
---
uneasy kitchen
my strained relationship
with the colander
---
Fibonacci knew
beauty in mathematics
and nature alike
---
mysteries of life
sometimes need considering
the fridge light!
---
small blessings
it takes two to tango
but one to solo
---
it's pi day
let's celebrate like it's
three point one four
---
politicians
can affect your blood pressure
listen with care
---
every morning
regular as clockwork
I miss the bus
---
anyway, Anakin-
may the weak force be with you
said the lepton
---
busy day topped with
the ultimate luxury
prospect of sleep
---
first world problems
the long dark seconds waiting
for the green light
---
ninety
middle azimuth degrees
number of the East
---
numb and number
wrinklies anesthetised by
single malt
---
copper carbonate
more substance than content
unless it's happy
---
it was so nearly
apples and pears to heaven
but Plant wasn't cockney
---
sunday afternoon
toast with apricot jelly
a nice cup of tea
---
troubled waters
the sailing just got tougher
can you pour the oil
---
crunch in my teeth
cookery skills showcased
al dente radish
---
promotions
one day come to a head
field marshal Pepper
---
I am by the pond
with the proverbial frog
who will leap?
---
leap day by the pond
no prizes for guessing
what the frog did
---
the pond and the frog
there's got to be another
pun about "leap"!
---
frog with its thoughts
sitting by the haiku pond
after leap day
---
winter dealt with
deconstruct the spring
and you'll have summer
---
tomorrow I shall
leap into the unknown
or March
---
celebrate pi and
divide circumference
by diameter!
---
river ferry chugs
on the edge of the ice
city ducks quack
---
sorsat kyttävä
föri kulkke mihe lie
toispual jokke?
---
I take my essay
to the teacher and say
mark those words
---
is it worth knowing
a letdown or sheer bliss
the meaning of life
---
for all I know
the sound of moon's silence
is in the air
---
madness of March hares
boxing like Rocky Balboa?
not convinced
---
the frog by the pond
doesn't need to square it
just jumps in
---
misunderstanding
there isn't any need for
a square peg
---
paint your words
on an imprisoned moment
unchain a river
---
moors and mills
worlds apart but together
with matchstick men
---
allergic to cats?
that's just schadenfreude.
bless you!
---
an old man
zimmer frame as a seat
gets up and runs off
---
for every action
an opposite reaction
so why be civil?
---
Newton's fourth law
he came up scratching his head:
"don't like them apples"
---
law society's law:
every action has makings
of a class action
---
someone's haven
from the snow-clad chimney
a twist of smoke
---
you can't always trust
a teacher to write much sense
not by a long chalk
---
I cannot resist
pull of the magnetic North
Arctic winters rule!
---
star after star
the night sky lights up
despite Earth Hour
---
written
at back of a postage stamp
a haiku
---
little or large
the ticket to the morning
a dose of coffee
---
the words that spew out
never designed as weapons
but handle with care
---
in the park
dog exercising his man
both out of breath
---
