Samurai – Terrible Poetry Contest

I lay down beneath
Falling Sakura blossoms.
I’m best samurai.

This senryu was written for Chelsea Owens’s Terrible Poetry Contest 4/4, senryu. In order to make Karai Senryū (柄井川柳, 1718–1790) roll over in his grave, I decided to make fun of samurai and make a nonsense poem.
