I.
smiling to stop
questions that pry
what hurts is mine
II.
a familiar face
walks through the door
I turn away
III.
2 a.m. – a storm
rages my dreams
keep me safe

The third one could be a storm rages . . . dreams keep her safe or a storm rages her dreams, please keep me safe. Interesting both ways.

That was purposely done – my favorite senryu/haiku are those that can be read in a number of ways because of a play on words. I don’t often pull one off, but this one came together!
