Senryu Room

The form of senryu is the same as a haiku poem.
Season word is not in senryu.
Senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend be about nature,
And senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous.

Now, “salaried worker senryu” is famous in Japan.
The author is a salaried worker.
They are humorous and, also sadly, there are.

Also complaint
Full-time employee does not understand.
Please let me telephone
the part-time job worker instead of an full-fledged employee.

Part-time job worker has been increasing.
An able part-time job worker is more able than an full-fledged employee.
