Fractured Haiku/Senryu

Information

Fractured Haiku/Senryu

A place for those addicted to 5/7/5 or a more cynical, darkly funny version...Come get your fix.

Members: 76
Latest Activity: Mar 16

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.

Gosh, but it's good to have a haiku home. I didn't save any from TBD1. I decided that was yesterday, and the training field of dreams. I've vowed to study more an improve. New home, fresh start! Thank you Angharad!

Hi, I'm really the old Westerly. I can't access my old profile anymore, for reasons only the computer gods know. So I'm starting all over again, y'all.

Here I am again
hoping to be of value
Be patient, my friends

Wonderful to meet you, Caroline! As you see, we're not strictly writing traditional haiku, but whatever it is we're doing...it's fun and a good creative outlet. Join in the discussions or add one...

sweet, smiling new face
creative juices flowing
happy to have you!

I'm here to say "Hi"
Because I am new on ning
And I like haiku.

Great, MAL...glad to see you! Take a look at the discussions and let 'er rip. Post a new discussion or two, if you're inspired.

And what's this about being "Internet incompetent"? You look competent to me...we're all learning the ropes over again here.

What's below is a low class tanka, actually

"resurrect a group
'people, travel, and Japan'

Internet incompetent--
why can't I make this thing work?"

Oh, Jaki, so happy to see you here! I've been gathering my haiku on TBD Prime and just got your PM....Glad to hear all is well. When work lightens up, please do drop by and add your words to ours!
Comment by jaki_64 on July 6, 2009 at 3:47am
Here we are, my friends!
Old friends, new friends, all welcome,
our new home via net!
Comment by Angharad on July 5, 2009 at 2:48pm
Namaste, Lily! Thanks for adding your good energy to the group, and for the senryu. Let your creative juices flow here...the format is less appealing than at TBD Prime, and no kudos, but we're trying to make a go of it. Some things are, simply, too beneficial to let fade away. Please, invite all your friends to join us!
Comment by Lily Roth on July 5, 2009 at 7:37am
Inspiration at last! Namaste!
