Democracy hasn't progressed
past the nineteenth century -
the mob still rules.

daybreak, late winter
birdsong just outside the door -
dripping tap

(This is an allegorical senryu poem about being trapped inside yourself.)

The above senryu poem is based on real events. Though this is true, I still contest that it is allegorical because of the fact that the artist is solely responsible for their work. The poem speaks of a state of mind as much as it describes a sequence of events experienced.

Strickly speaking, it's not a senryu.

There are no dripping taps in nature. There are trickling streams and dripping ice if anything.

Poetry is essential like playing chess to being a gentleman.
