TBD on Ning
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.

Welcome to our new digs, Olivia and Eve! When you go into the discussions, you'll see that the format is different, but it, essentially, works the same. And you'll see our friends from TBD Prime, and that the creativity goes on.
Jaki...are you asking if keeping the log is good, or if the writing is good? Do I have to come over there and....tee hee.

I kept a log from
the old place, my writings. Good?
Maybe. Maybe not.

DZGD for your kind comment...I would have felt like a ghost, wandering cyberspace with nowhere to feed my addiction to 5/7/5. And I'll be sure to go thank Chuck for the "emoticons." I'd created some, but wasn't sure how to make them available for everyone...technodunce here!

Psst! We lament the lack of kudos, but look what Chuck created for us to use!

Lock this by bookmarking it into your toolbar (add a google toolbar - it has spell check and other great tools too) . Open TBD and open this tab too. You can move back and forth btw the two and copy and past one (or several in a row) of the icons as you deem fit.
Don't forget to thank Chuck. It's brilliant!
Cheers!
