Fear of Haiku

Neither are these exactly

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

?

[Norman 223]

Prudent Japanese
Simply Invented Haiku
To save on ink costs.

Now we just use text
And only wear out our thumbs.
We call it progress.

Ha, ha, haiku, ha....I said it before & gonna say it again Norman223, you are amazing....

[sette]

i am also afraid of haiku i don't know how to write it so with sonnet though i know their meanings but still don't know how to write them

[Neville]

Maybe you worry too much.....do one and everything else will follow......

[sette]

i will thanks for the encouragement

[Neville]

Let me know when you get there....it won't be a long journey, I'm sure.......N

[sette]

i do hope so

[Neville]

and have fun on the way.........

hhhha! don't worry I too like You don't write with forms so me and You are not strangers but friends lol
I think Your message is more than these written words, You are sending a message to those who might look down at You or me... we should treat each others with kindness and respect, and give advice when we feel it should be given, I know many fine professional writers here like Stella beneath can give us good advice, so many times I feel I don't have the right to give someone any criticism because I'm simply not professional.

Keep writing my friend, from Your heart, with the way You feel You want to write with.

[Neville]

You might well be write my friend....Here in my own little world I firmly believe no man is above man...and you dear poet deserve to stand, sit or lay alongside any of us.............x

[lightsong]

same here my friend, Thank You :) :) :)

[Stella Armour]

ps: Light, i am by no means a professional writer my friend. True i have self published my poetry, for my friends and family ... but by no means professional :)

[lightsong]

oh Stella, in my mind's eyes You are :) You can write with many forms sooo smoothly and sooo beautifully ;)

[Stella Armour]

haha... it is only practice my friend... i am self taught and self published. i just enjoy sharing my poems with like minded friends.

[Paul Bell]

Haiku, Senryu.
Fewer words.
But still pack a punch if presented properly.

[Neville]

True, nuff said eh................Cheers...Neville

[Stella Armour]

well i just love haiku, but sadly there are so many rules to it that most people don't bother to read and make a right hash of it lol.

when i doubt call it a senryu :)

[Neville]

Me too & we share that same view.....good tip though Stella..ta.....Neville

[Stella Armour]

lol.... haiku is lovely if written well, and also i discovered haibun which i like very much too :)

Then again i am a bit of a form freak lol

[Neville]

Me too...........................N

[Mrudula Rani]

I do like haiku
Did write one for my friends
It's simple in form.

I suppose that is why we are good friends! uma abraço bem apertado.

[Neville]

That is one of many reasons, I'm sure.....Thank you...Neville

[Mrudula Rani]

I agree with you!

[Ardra]

lol.... love this one :)
I never get the forms its all some kind of alien forms for me...
when i write ...its what words want to create...not even me...
so if someone is explaining the a b c d of the forms...i run away from there heheh... :P

[Neville]

Thanks for popping in Galadriel good to laugh innit.......N

[jacob erin-cilberto]

form tends to drive me crazy, unless we use it as a springboard...not necessary to follow the rules exactly, Emily D. never did.

[Neville]

Well it is Spring jacob & you can't be bored just yet.... Oh' and I am very much inclined to agree with you, you old name dropper you.....Many thanks indeed for considering my scribble, truly appreciated, I can tell ya........
