GO HAIKU

Here at this LINK you find some funny GO Senryu dated back to the Edo time, compiled by John Fairbairn.


"Senryu are Japanese poems that have the same structure as haiku (snapshots in 17 syllables), but instead of grand themes such as the transience of life, they satirically focus on the earthiness of life and situations we all recognise." J. Fairbairn

The ones i liked most: 

"With this aji blah blah blah" - thus he imitates the stronger players.

He keeps on losing, so sits up properly - but loses again.

•••

The corner stones finally alive, he lights his pipe. 

•••

In the depths of the night even the ceiling is a go board.
