Senryu

Silent Cries
Echoes of an Empty Room In the hollow chambers of my mind, Echoes of whispers, once so kind, Now linger like a fading song, In the silence where you belong.

Superman
Look! Up in the sky It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No Just a lame hero ***** This lets me double down on challenges, since it works for both the Sky Ku challenge and Matthew Fromm’s challenge.

Team America: World Police
Hey! Terrorize this! Pearl Harbour Sucked, I Miss You Look, it's Matt Damon! * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: I will not ramble mumble on too much about this but unironically Team America: World Police, by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (of South Park fame) is one of the best action movie parodies, Hollywood and celebrity culture satires of all time. And done with some amazing set pieces featuring marionettes, inspired by Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds. It is start to end hilarious, has some genuinely great songs (that was always a strong point of South Park and Parker and Stone anyway) and just yeah, an absolute riot. It's quite offensive, in case you didn't realise that, but truly if you have not seen this movie, you should. Like, right now. I am not even joking and I will die on the hill in a bloody battle defending it.

Here are some hilarious tales to brighten your day and bring a smile to your face.

Introduction Most people don't know what a Haiku is, so I used this Senryū (川柳) to explain. But here's my entry, it WILL be my only one but I know that this will happen

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
Fully clothed for once Weirdly stressed again… time jumps… Arrive stark naked. *** So goes my bad MOVIE REVIEW for Matthew Fromm’s challenge. I only recently watched The Time Traveler's Wife. As fascinated as I am by time travel, I’m certainly not up for the embarrassing repercussions of its unpredictable occurrence!😳

The Bat Nips (1997)
Awful... storyline? The bat nips, bat nips, bat nips, Worst. D.C. Movie. * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: For Matthew Fromm's Bad Movie Review Senryu Challenge thing. This is the worst DC movie, bar none. Okay, aside Green Lantern and Daredevil, but I didn't have high hopes for those. Batman, Batman Returns and Batman Forever, while flawed, were not nearly as bad as this heap of technicolour sh~~ola. Joel Schumacher is a great director, he did a reasonable job with the previous film, but, this is tripe. This is not a great example of his abilities.
