Re: award-winning (even from friends) haiku include a season word, KIGO. Senryu

Neil/Durbin--you are so very good to me-bless you for taking the time and trouble to explain to me-the above! I will get some books-(I went to the site you said)-it isn't fair of me to keep asking you!.I guess I also need to read up on Buddhism? I must tell you-I do understand far more now-thank you-and I recognise you have told me this before but using different wording! I think it has 'clicked' into place.Thank you so much!Shalommyfriendfromchris.

award-winning (even from friends) haiku include a season word, KIGO. Senryu

or hybrid haiky do not have kigo words to work because they focus on humans. Originsa of haiku is observation--meditative observation of nature and critters, large and small, from which the Zen Buddhists would extract a subtle lesson. The lesson is never blatant--more of a unique perspective--recall the floating leaf-butterfly? shalomfromdurbin

Re: These were great! Haiku is something I'm looking into at the moment

SpencerStreetStaion--very many thanks for popping in and your comments!I did not know that there were so many different types of haiku?I will get myself some books.I love the one you have left here! Yes-17 syllables but I have seen many now with either less or more?I find haiku both fascinating and interesting!Great to hear from you-thanks again-Chris.

These were great! Haiku is something I'm looking into at the moment

and in a big way. I got a book of them on topics such as Earth, Fire, Water, Steel and Wood and some of them are really profound. Such as:

Pouring rain-
A chlid discovers the world
Puddle by puddle.

Something like that!! Anyway, I like the Rooku better. It is an Australian version of Haiku and I have written several. Apparently Haiku's have to be 17 syllables?

Re: OTA-thank you so much for your lovely response! I'm pleased you like

I think it's because haiku is so 'new' to me that I'm so keen on it.Thanks again-Chris.

Hi Rumored-yes-you can see it so clearly-can't you? The 2nd one-I watched an artist making 'paper'---then of course-I could write a poem on it!Thanks-Chris.
