Roadside Senryū



Poetry on the highway? Yes, in the form of senryū, a Japanese variant of haiku referring to humans and human nature. A collection of artists are erecting signs all over the US containing such poems. They resemble regular road signs, but have a thoughtful message in poetry. Have you seen these where you live?

I always come up with 1-2 line, poetry-like sayings like this when I'm by myself. It's usually when I'm walking on the sidewalk (having been around people just recently), or when I'm laying in bed mulling over the day. The life of an introvert I suppose.
