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: on Wednesday
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.

the Tao is but one
single drop of falling rain.
It is the rain itself.
