Senryu

Are the non nature-related humorous cousins of Haiku.
Five follow;

at the end
of the toilet paper roll-
panic


as my tongue
enters your ear-
a shiver


August night-
this heavy air slows
even roaches


from the front row
of a famous poet's reading-
a snore


gray morning sky
my stubble in the mirror-
grayer
