Found this site I shared on the Balancing Haiku thread, for anyone interested in old masters and new -

the discussion regarding traditional "Eastern" forms and modern versions is quite interesting.


Would also enjoy hearing your thoughts on this at the Wild - so many children are taught haiku as one of their first exposures to poetry, all over the globe.

Best regards,
Tina

I'm not impressed with the site since it doesn't really have a good grounding in modern English language haiku, most of which is NOT written in 5-7-5 syllables.

Here's some other links:

A great article on how to write haiku:

In my medicine cabinet
the winter fly
has died of old age.

One of my favorite of the so-called "pops" (really just Western haiku) of Jack Kerouac.

I certainly agree that no exposure to haiku is complete without an understanding of what poets in the West (and around the world) have done with the barebones notion of haiku as a short poem grounded in observations of nature and the seasons.

Meds are true gritty
and giddy-dizzy, do you
take them? Relieve things?

No further comment, except -
aren't we still in spring?
