Hmmmm, Hellon this is tuff, it could be either... I'm leaning towards senryu... The messages are far beyond nature in my reader view.

Lovely piece by you!

To me it is clearly no Haiku. It primarily deals with human issues, painting a human scene. The Third line continues the "painting" but in an intuitive direction that lets the reader imagine various things, including children with faces smeared with cotton candy. It is a Senryu in my opinion.

Senryu for sure. And I loved how you captured the sense of the place in these few lines. You set the surroundings, the smell, everything so vividly. Amazing how a writer can capture that in such a restrictive form.

Loved it!

Congratulations prof, very delightful piece.
Glad to see you posting again.

Congrats on the win Hellon!

Hellon created a beautiful Senryu this week. She captivated me with visuals of the circus and smells of cotton candy, all in a tiny little formed poem, just beautiful!
