A selection of Haiku

Senryū look like haiku but are intended as playful squibs.

Indeed, haiku were essentially playful compositions until great

depth was added to them by such masters as Bashō, Chiyoni, Issa, Buson, Shiki and Santōka.

The texts in Orang-Utan range from the lyrical to the

contemplative, the questioning to the absurd, and are suitable

for readers 10 – 14+.
