Is this Haiku? Do I give a toss!

Alone I sit
Pencil in hand
I ponder long
On secrets grand.

dear Alex,

I don't know if it is senryu or not, but it is good. (haiku is about nature)

Hello Cat

Don't think its quite senryu but then, do I care ? Alex

Thank you for your comments. I did read about the various forms but then a mist descended and I began lose the will to live. I'll stick to writing what comes to mind just as it comes and not worry about form. Alex

Dear Alex

This is a great poem. It is a small short observation of what you write about, "secrets Grand". In poetry aren't we all seeking that same insight.
