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.

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: Jane Reichold's site: http://www.ahapoetry.com/haiku.htm A great article on how to write haiku: http://www.haikuworld.org/begin/mdwelch.tentips.html Another one: http://www.haikuworld.org/begin/ctrumbull.may2003.html A nice write up on Joan Zimmerman's webpage: http://www.baymoon.com/~ariadne/form/haiku.htm Haiku beyond 5-7-5 by Alan Rocheleau: http://members.aol.com/lucyhardng/pointers/form4.htm#forms6 An article by L.A. Davidson, a charter member of the Haiku Society of America (of which I'm a member and which has a membership of approximately 1000 people): http://www.cyberoz.net/city/dhugal/davidson.html English language online haiku journals: The Heron's Nest: http://www.theheronsnest.com Simply Haiku: http://www.simplyhaiku.com Roadrunner Haiku: http://www.poetrylives.com/roadrunner/ Mainichi Daily News: http://mdn.mainichi.jp/culture/wa/etc/haiku/ Asahi Haikuist Network: http://www.asahi.com/english/haiku/index.html Links to more English Language Haiku publications: http://www.hsa-haiku.org/archives/HaikuJournalsGuide2008.pdf Organizations: Haiku Society of America: http://www.hsa-haiku.org Haiku Poets of Northern California: http://www.haiku-poets-northern-california.com/ Southern California Haiku Study Group: http://www.socalhaiku.org This is just a start - will post more links later. |

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? Seasons measure calendars. (Message edited by tina_hoffman on May 16, 2008) Dare to dream a positive vision, and see it come true!
