[stylist] A Haiku I Wrote This Morning

Mon Oct 17 20:12:05 UTC 2011

A series of tanka using a theme is called a haiku  chain... you can 
approach tanka in the same way.. traditionally they are not  titled as well.

I didn't  know haiku didn't have titles, either.  Is there a name for it if 
you  wtrote haiku stanzas; each stanza being one haiku poem but a bunch of 
them  on the same topic?  I've not written much haiku because they are 
soooo  
short.

Jacqui, do you know where one can find an extensive list of  different 
kinds 
of poems?  You seem to have a wealth of info on that  topic.  I mainly 
write 
quatrains where the second and fourth lines  rhyme but am trying to break 
out 
of that mold.  That's why I've been  trying my hand at sestinas and 
villanelles--most are terrible--and I even  wrote a terza rima and a rhyme 
royale.  I'm no good at sonnets either  but have written a couple.

Hi Jacky,

Jim,
Another good one. There is a rule that says Haiku  has no title. In this 
case
your title is part of your poem.  You might  have to re-write it so that the
leaves are incorporated into the  poem.
Keep at it.
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
How are you so creative?

Here's one I  wrote after I saw what happened as I took the dogs out  on
Saturday.

Saturday Leaves

Blasted from your  perch,
Piled against my front gate, dead,
You'll feed my  garden.

Jim,
You have just written your second Haiku!

Tone  deaf-listening-
the great symphony of life
is inspired by  you.

While Haiku are usually written about a snapshot of nature, I much  prefer
the ones written about human qualities. If I recall, the ones  dealing with
human nature may be called a Senryu. They are both Japanese  and if you are
not entering a contest, who  cares.

Hi Jackie,
I just want to say that you are inspiring me to  keep trying. In this group 
I
feel like a tone-deaf listener to the  symphony.

Shawn and Jim,
These are both great Haiku. They show great  insight. Both could also be
"Poetweets."

And here's a haiku that kind-of explains my absence from the  list of late.

Mighty flood of life
That sweeps me to the  future
In vain I struggle.
