Dr. B and Dr. C from The Two Doctors https://thetwodoctors.uk/
As a life-long learner, I appreciate great teachers, those who love learning and love helping others learn. Dr. B and Dr. C are role models worth meeting.
Most recently, Dr. B, has introduced his readers to Senryu (pronounced sen – rye – ooo). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmzsBmog_Q
Senryu is described as “a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 or fewer syllables in total. However, senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are serious.” https://www.languageisavirus.com/poetry-guide/senryu.php

Another good source of information on senryu is a blog called Failed Haiku at https://failedhaiku.com/2022/11/. Editor Bryan Rickert with founder and now Video Editor Mike Rehling offer regular publications and contests for participants.
My first knowing attempt: Senryu to You Two
wonderful teachers
encourage exploration:
who are you, again?

Patrick, words fail me! You have become chief marketing guru for The Two Doctors, but joking apart your words are really appreciated. Dr C sitting beside me is baffled as to what I have done to deserve this! Anyway I’m a senryu novice too though I’ve now written a few for December posts. The cynic in me is about to be revealed 🤣🙏🙏🕉
