I was born in Spain. My sister and I were very close when we were young. After my mother died, my dad was remarried to a horrible woman that made him choose between her or us, he chose her. At 15 years, and her at 25 years, we were homeless and without a job. My mother sisters offered to care for us. I moved with them in America and my sister chose to stay in Spain.

I was able to visit her a few times but we lost touch. I regret I didn't call her more. She died today. I poured my feelings on this poem. I hope you like it. Thank you,

SENRYU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. Unlike Haiku, senryu is about human nature and doesn't need a season word. It's written in 17 syllables OR LESS and three lines. For Senryu you don't need a season word (Kigo).
