Fear of Haiku

Neville

Fear of Haiku

 

I remember when

You struggled with the concept of haiku

When senryu made you sweat

 

I suspect that you suspect

 I remember that too

Is that why we are still strangers

?

    Ha - this hits the nail on the head - -
    - that's the way it is with short things monsieur - --- but then poetry can often make friends out of strangers methinks...............

          Good Evening NEVILLE ~ Its not the HAIKU or SENRYU or TANKAS (5 7 5 7 7) Im scared of ~ in fact they can be good fun and long Poems are not appreciated on MSN ! What scares ME is that even on a freewheelin* - easy goin* - come-day go-day SITE like MPS there are Purists ~ WHO if you lable a POEM a HAIKU (5 7 5 & about Nature & Seasons etc ?) or a SENRYU (5 7 5 about People & emotions etc ?) they will inform you that its either wrong Syllable countwise or Subjectwise etc etc. This can put budding Poets off and they leave MPS and give up Poetry. I notice that much Published Poetry in Languages other than English dont follow the 5 7 5 syllabus rule so it seems like a *Free for All* out there ~ thanks for sharin* & carin*

          Peace & Joy to You & Yours
          Yours BR IAN & ANGELA !

            thank you for visiting my little scribble... it is genuinely appreciated.. I am quite strict when it comes to penning these poetic forms.. however, I tend to refer to many of mine as mocku's or fakehu's if they are not quite the real thing.... stay safe the pair of ya.....

            Good fun write Neville.
            I write haikus, senryus and tankas and have done for long while but try to keep them in the sense they were meant to be taken.
            I also write goldikus and wordikus if I want to do something different and have any type of meaning.
