Fractured Haiku/Senryu
Information
A place for those addicted to 5/7/5 or a more cynical, darkly funny version...Come get your fix.
Members: 76
Latest Activity: Apr 17
Format
The format is simple: three lines of verse with 5/7/5 syllables, respectively.
Haiku, traditionally, must include at least one image of nature, a seasonal reference, a "cutting word" that acts as a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation of two juxaposed images, and no punctuation or similes; senryu is generally about human foibles. There are more rules to be found in the links below, if you're a purist...but WE BREAK MOST OF THE RULES HERE.
Each new discussion should act as a topic for haiku/senryu from the whole group. So, for example, the discussion "Joy" is a place to write about whatever lifts your spirits or puts a smile on your face. Sometimes, the author of a discussion may have particular criteria for what you are to write; for instance, he or she may ask that you use a specific word or words in your haiku/senryu. So be sure to read the author's instructions.
Everyone is free to post a new discussion...and please do. The more topics, the better.

I longed for summer
the breezy maestro of heat
the cool of the nights

stalwart strong but now gone on

Hi BB! Thanks for joining us.
As you will see, this is a place to express yourself without much restriction. If you're a haiku purist, I'm afraid we transgress almost all the guidelines. But we certainly do enjoy ourselves!
So jump on in and get those creative juices flowing in 5/7/5!
i apologize
noble tradition altered...
bastardized haiku
