About
Hold the Darkness Close - A theopoetic haiku or senryu is a fusion of poetry
and spirituality, using the traditional 5-7-5 haiku form to explore human
experiences, divine insights, and the connection between the sacred and
everyday life. Its simplicity distills complex emotions into brief, evocative
lines that resonate deeply. While haiku traditionally focuses on nature and
seasons, senryu, a related form, emphasizes human nature, humor, and
irony. Both haiku and theopoetics, though distinct, share a profound ability
to evoke the divine and human experience through minimal yet powerful
language, embracing paradoxes of life and faith. Both forms invite the reader
to see beyond the surface of words and into the deeper realities they point
toward, whether through meditative reflection or humor.
