Picture: "Under Privileged Child at Hull House" - 1910 - by Lewis Hine (1874-1940). He was best known for his use of photography as a means to achieve social reform. In his hand, the camera became a powerful means of recording social injustice and labor abuses. Hine's interest in social welfare and reform movements led him in 1905 to begin his first documentary series; immigrants on Ellis Island.

It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection. The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a caesura (dash before satori). Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured.

TANKA is a Japanese five-line poem. Each line should be a cohesive phrase and the lines should be grammatically connected, it should not sound like a list or a telegram.. The five lines must be integrated into a unified poem. The fifth line should be the strongest line.
PIVOT LINE Pivot lines are a feature of Japanese tanka and are often a feature of English tanka, but not necessarily so. A pivot line, usually line 3, can be read sensibly with lines 1 and 2, and also sensibly with lines 4 and 5, a property that can be used to introduce ambiguity and resonance into the poem. One method of composing tanka is to write what is basically a haiku for lines 1, 2, 3, which deals with a natural subject and then write two more lines to append to that which deal with a human experience in a manner that has metaphorical, symbolic, or other resonance with the haiku. Tanka may be beautifully lyrical poems, often about love, loss, longing, and similar aspects of our emotional lives, click here if you want to read modern tanka examples click here to read Tanka Society of America click here if you want to read modern tanka rules Thank you very much for your time and kind review.

Author Notes |
** Baby Boomer = a person born in America between 1946 and 1965.
** Groovy and Pad are slang words used in the 60s -- GROOVY = is an American slang colloquialism popular during the 1950s, '60s and '70s. It is roughly synonymous with words such as "excellent", "fashionable", or "amazing", depending on context. -- PAD = is a slang word that refers to a place where a person lives. AND = also, a round floating LEAF of a water lily in a pond. This week write a SUCCINCT HAIKU in the Haiku Club. You may use the event picture or your own. You probably ask yourself, how can I make haiku shorter than it is? Well, you can do it with a few steps. Many people think haiku has to be 5/7/5 but it doesn't have to. The rule with haiku is to keep it as SUCCINCT as possible. Japanese syllables are shorter than English syllables. Keep it in the present tense. EXAMPLE The Old Pond by Matsuo Basho in English: 2/4/3 syllables Old pond (2 syllables) a frog jumps in (4 syllables) water's sound (3 syllable) The Old Pond by Matsuo Basho in Japanese: 5/7/5 Furu ike ya (5 syllables) kawazu tobikomu (7 syllables) mizu no oto (5 syllables) One rule is to get rid of any extra words you don't need, like: (the, an, a,). Also, get rid of duplicate words, like (cold snow- snow is always cold) ( frozen iced lake-frozen and iced is the same) (hot sun- the sun is always hot) (Lonely alone-lonely and alone is the same) etc... EXAMPLE The cold crisp wind blows (5 syllables) crossing the high tall green grass (7 syllables) The grass waves goodbye (5 syllables) SAME HAIKU WRITTEN SUCCINCTLY cold wind (2 syllables) cross tall grass (3 syllables) waves goodbye (3 syllables) You don't always get rid of (the). Sometimes you need it so the haiku doesn't sound like a telegram or a list. You have to read it to yourself and make sure it sounds good. EXAMPLE cold wind (2 syllables) cross the tall grass (4 syllables) waves goodbye (3 syllables) The haiku can be less than 17 syllables BUT not over 17 syllables. HAIKU is a Japanese very short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and it alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English syllables are longer than Japanese syllables. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation; keep alliteration to a minimum.

A reviewer asked me why didn't the homeless man go inside the laundromat to get warm. The reason is that a lot of business owners tell homeless people to get out. I was a social worker for homeless people for three years. A lot of folks treat homeless people as if they are invisible or a nuisance they don't want to see. There is no affordable housing and tent camps are destroyed by police or city workers over and over. It's a very sad and hard life to live.

CONTEMPORARY TANKA has its seeds in the human heart and mind. IT grows into the myriad leaves of words and phrases expressing what the poet thinks and feels in her or his heart. Tanka are beautifully lyrical and they are often about love, loss, longing, and similar aspects of our emotional lives,
Throughout Japanese history, women have been the best tanka poets. Tanka originated in the imperial court where men and women exchanged tanka poems after a night together. The poems were deeply passionate. Women poets were committed to a life of both religions consciousness and erotic intensity. Pivot lines are feature of Japanese tanka and are often a feature of in English tanka, but itā??s not necessary. A pivot line, is usually written on line 3, can be read sensibly with lines 1 and 2, and lines 4 and 5, a property that can be used to introduce ambiguity and resonance into the poem. * click here if you want to read modern tanka examples * click here to join the Tanka Society of America * click here if you want to read modern tanka rules Thank you very much for your time and kind review.

It offers a reflection on the imminent death of the author. It originated in Zen Buddhism. They tend to offer a reflection on death coupled with a meaningful observation of life. The poem's structure can be written in haiku 5/7/5 or tanka 5/7/5/7/7 form, which can have fewer syllables. Death poems are typically graceful, natural, and emotionally neutral. Death is described, metaphorically, references such as sunsets, autumn or falling cherry blossom suggest the transience of life. wikipedia to see source click here Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.

Contemporary Haiku is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection.The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a caesura (dash before satori). Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured.

HAIKU is a Japanese very short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and it alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English syllables are longer than Japanese syllables. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation; avoid alliteration. Lines should be connected grammatically to improve the flow of thought.

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less. The main parts of a classic haiku are: kireji, kigo, and satori. KIREJI is a pause or break in a verse where one phrase ends and another phrase begins. It may be expressed by a dash or a comma. KIGO is word or phrase associated with a particular season (spring, summer, autumn, or winter) SATORI is a phrase (usually last line) that provides comprehension and understanding. It refers to a deep experience of one's essence of true nature".
