This is something I'll be doing more of longer-term for highlighting #theselkie; in the meantime, enjoy this series of themed senryū (bonus points for guessing the origins):
The lonely monarch
Grasps a heart, which freezes - now
His sister seeks them.
A betrayal of
Fragments gathers them into
A sticky embrace.
A great heart lusts for
Larger adventures. Cow make
For strange vehicles.
Three vessels marred, and
One consumed. Rudeness comes in
A golden package.
Warnings aren't enough;
Troubles cluster to colours;
What big eyes you've got!
Tempers best kept have
Left threads tangled. A nameless
Solution now looms.
Strange, sensitive soul;
To stay high and dry you must
Pass a testing night.
A wish gifts movement
But soon truth will be proved by
This rhinomancy.
Learn to love his stuff -
Swapping won't bring back good times,
Rub it all you like.
It's jam tomorrow -
Good marketing brings rewards:
Seven at one blow.
Yes, I'm running behind. It'll all work out by Saturday, I'm sure...
