Transition (The Final Senryu)
Change for the better
Or regress into the worst
We all transition
Note: This senryu was supposed to be my final encore, but after everything that has happened within the past week, there's no way in hell I'm leaving like this. When I say I get the final word, I mean it... and I always get it.
A Senryu is a Japenese form of short poetry similar to a haiku in terms of construction (5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line). While haikus tend to be about nature and are usually serious, senryus are about human foibles and are usually cynical, sarcastic, and/or have dark humor.
