Dear eloquent Jen
Football in 5-7-5 format
Is haiku defined
Jensen
The haiku rules say
"only nature in this style";
senryu for you!
you see, my dear Jon,
senryu matches haiku's
five-seven-five form
but no nature rule
in senryu, so football
is okay subject

My dictionary
has "haiku" but does not list
"senryu" at all.
However it says
"haiku" must refer to the
seasons of the year.
I guess senryu
is similar to haiku
but has no seasons.
What Jen does not get
is that for a fan, football
is a season too.

The C-Man is right
Haiku are meditations
On seasonal things.
But there is just one
Season: football season. Hence
The term "off-season."

Facts before you post.

Excuse the intrusion, but the teeny red thing is a mite, not a spider.
Pretty sure. If it's small enough to puntuate a stanza and red, its a mite.
Not that mites aren't nice; and they are arachnids, as are spiders, so it is
kind of like calling a chimpanzee a monkey. It's technically wrong, but most
people really don't care one way or the other, except strange, sad people like
me. :-)

Thank you for clearing

Without knowing that
we were doing so when we

They'd be stupid shits
Lincoln's dead a cen'try plus

Though I've had some talks
With federal employees
Who might be that dumn.
Yeah, but profile fits--
I'm a long-time Democrat

So I understand
How suspicion might arise
Being from the South
Yeah, I shot the dude

Dear ALL,
I read all of these so called haiku. I want to know where the "sentinel"
word is? Are you all playing around with three-line poetry and calling it
haiku? Do you think haiku is poetry in 5/7/5 syllables? Do you think this
is all a haiku is? I think you need to go back to school and learn what a
"sentinel" word is. It's a word that relates to nature and a season in the
year. The word "snow" relates to nature and winter. Snow could be a
sentinel word.
Let me show you what I mean with one of my haiku.
Fawns play in new fields.
O'er streams, hooves clime up mountains,
Now, sweet milk --- time robbed.
(c) Vern DeLoy, 1998
"Fawns" is the sentinel word. It is in the traditional format, 5/7/5, it
points to a specific moment, additionally, if you understand it, it has
great emotion. For those that don't know how this poem was to be taken, I
gave it a title of "HOMEYMOON." However, I hate titles on haiku. The title
is only for stupid people that don't know how to read my haiku. Dr. Sigmund
Freud would love this poem. Now do you know what it's about?
I love poetry
I love haiku
please do it -- WRITE
Thanks for your time,

Interesting read. Loved the haiku. I too have been told, when showing
haiku to people, that it's not haiku because it does not relate to nature,
et al, which haiku is intended to do. I often believed that times were
changing and haiku could be about anything. Hell, people change the number
of syllables and still call it a haiku. Same goes for other forms, like
sonnets and the like. I guess what I wonder about, and have mentioned
around here before, is this: why can't we write a poem and call it
whatever we want, even if it falls short or exceeds a certain poetry
form's rules as to what that certain poem should follow? Why must we be
stuck to names? is it for ourselves? For publishers? For showing other
people examples? Why are we stuck to these names instead of trying to
modify the rules a little to convey our message and still call it a haiku,
or a villanelle or sonnet, even if it's not exact? I'm just curious. :)

when i was in high school, i had this english teacher. 9th grade i think it
was, but that's not really important. i liked this teacher, he was very smart.
the only problem with him was, that even though *i* happened to like him very
much for his methods and wisdom, he didn't know how to illustrate his points
without being condescending or patronizing.
as it turns out, he was a martial arts expert too, but that's not really
important either, because when all 8 of them got him in the parking lot, there
really wasn't much he could do.
there was another teacher the next year, a woman this time. she probably
thought frued would just *adore* her work too.
she never got jumped in the parking lot tho, even still she probably should
have.

I'm sorry ursenbach,but you touched on one of my pet peeves,before you
start on someone elses haiku let's try to spell "climb" correctly,or did
you mean to say (a reference to climate "clime") up mountains?Excuse
me,,just had to say it:)I'm sure my next post will be full of misspellings
and ursenbach can get me back:)I really don't mind poets quoting
themselves,but let's stand on both legs when we do it ok?
Maybe I just had a bad day<G>

Haiku is a traditional Japanese literary form. There are a few 'rules'
that go with this form. The foremost rule is the presence of a kigo, or
season word. (NB: I've never heard it referred to as a 'sentinel' word
and, out of curiosity, would like to see a cite on that.) For those
people who don't want to write about nature (or seasons) but like the
short form,
there is a related Japanese literary form called 'senryu'.
The 5/7/5 rule is not as strict as most people seem to think, especially
when writing haiku in English. The 5/7/5 rule refers to onji, or sounds.
This has been roughly translated to English syllables. The problem with
this is that onji are all one length; that is, they take the same length
of time to be spoken. Syllables in the English language vary in length.
(Example: stretch and it are both monosyllabic words but are different
lengths.) So, Japanese haiku of 5/7/5 tend to be the same length as
English haiku of 3/5/3.
Robert Aitken, among others, has an interesting theory regarding the
length of haiku in English. Regardless of subject, haiku encapsulate an
experience. This is generally referred to as a 'haiku moment'. Aitken
posits that any haiku moment (or aesthetic moment, if you prefer) lasts
only as long as a single breath. The number of Japanese onji that can be
comfortably spoken in a single breath is 17. The number of English
syllables that can be comfortably spoken in a single breath is 11. The
haiku quoted in the original post and in the thread as a whole are, IMO,
too long for haiku.
Another characteristic of haiku is its apparent subjectivity. Neither
the poet, nor the poet's ideals, are present in the poem. The poem
quoted below fails in that regard. Think of haiku as literal statements
where metaphor is out of place. As such, time cannot rob. It is simply
impossible. (No metaphor arguments work in haiku.)

As to Christopher's post, why do people insist on forcing their Western
ideas into an Eastern form and calling it haiku? I don't know. Perhaps
they simply don't know that it's perfectly legitimate to call it a
'short poem'. Perhaps there is a need to fit into an ideal. Extend that
possibility to other literary forms.
Maybe people are just afraid to say "This is a poem. It is not haiku, it
is not a sonnet, it is not a ballad. It simply is." Maybe people, at
some level, need a label or need to belong.
I dunno.
cheers,

It's because prescriptivism sucks even more than bad haiku. Blame the
militant grammarians. Blame the William Safires, the frustrated English
teachers, the repressive and anal prescriptivist regime as a whole. Blame
Chomsky and his refusal to accept that language can exist independently of
his norms, much less flourish. These are the sick doods, the cheataneous
sluts, who are spreding rong stuff--not only in this chat room, but in the
minds of children. The Spelling Gestapo. The creationists in an
evolutionary world.
How did you like that haiku?
HEAR is another haiku for you:
Mortal spring has passed
The icy glare: vanished; where
Has the magic gone?
Steve Huntsman 4.1.1999. Fear the Rear Admiralty.
Lee Tracy
1) get rid of 'o'er. It is a hackneyed conceit.
2) what is 'clime' supposed to be? Clime or climb?
3) how do you know how Freud would react to your haiku? That is a goofy thing to
say. And by the way, Walt Disney would love my reference to Goofy. And Dewey
would love my reference to reference. And Walt Disney would think I was talking
Donald's nephew Dewey, and love that reference, ad nauseum.
4) your 'haiku' is not a haiku by the rules of haiku, either. I should not have
to tell you why, since you are such an expert on haiku.
5) let people have their fun. Sure, they're senryu, not haiku, but I was just
advised of the difference this year (in a better and nicer way... ) I had a
whole class on haiku in college, and my professor did not distinguish between
the two. Let people be creative and have some fun. This is the reason why people
are afraid to express themselves-- someone comes along and breaks everything,
shouting about how they are breaking the rules.
6) For being so consumed a few days ago with taking your lower intestine,
ripping it out and tacking it to the fridge and calling it a poem, you are sure
coming off differently today. Is there more than one person using this screen
name?
