I'm also learning (irregularly), to write short forms. Please feel free to crit only one, these went together, can't strictly remember why....LOL....
Haiku We gossip, drink tea, breezy bamboo porch soothes us. Bees pollinate buds. Senryu Coffee-shop chatter, mauve mouths munch Danish pastries. Blind tramp passes cap. ·······  ·······Mis temas favoritos

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Hi Syl,
I suggest you do a little research on the two forms when you get a chance. If I'm not mistaken haikus are about nature and not about people. Also, I believe you must name the season you're writing about not just allude to it in a haiku. Senryu are about people and usually show some trait of universal human nature. Hope this helps.
