Description

Hold the Darkness Close – A theopoetic haiku or senryu is a fusion of poetryand spirituality, using the traditional 5-7-5 haiku form to explore humanexperiences, divine insights, and the connection between the sacred andeveryday life. Its simplicity distills complex emotions into brief, evocativelines that resonate deeply. While haiku traditionally focuses on nature andseasons, senryu, a related form, emphasizes human nature, humor, andirony. Both haiku and theopoetics, though distinct, share a profound abilityto evoke the divine and human experience through minimal yet powerfullanguage, embracing paradoxes of life and faith. Both forms invite the readerto see beyond the surface of words and into the deeper realities they pointtoward, whether through meditative reflection or humor.
