Infatuation (Senryu) Poem by Mihaela Pirjol

Almost reminds you of the forbidden fruit look but don't touch, cause once you touch you want to taste and so on. This really is a romantic infatuation between self restraint and pure unbridled passions lingering helplessly below the surface of composure. Love it Mihaela =)

evoked emotions.... oooooh! Mmmmmmm!

a lovely senryu one of my favorite forms

I was unfamiliar with the term SENRYU. No problem - I bought Edward Hirsch's new book A POET'S GLOSSARY, an 800-page dictionary for which he wrote ALL THE ENTRIES. Amazing achievement! So a senryu is a haiku about human nature. INFATUATION takes us to the heart of being human and deals with the heart, hungry, yearning, loving but also hesitant, cautious, suffering. I'm reminded of the Ang Lee film LUST, CAUTION, a striking exploration of a dangerous love and the dire consequences of surrender to passion.
