BACKUP
Contents of my HAIKU THEORY archives
(backup only, December 2009)


My advise for starters

keep the three lines : short long short
use one season word (kigo)
use one cut marker (kireji)

Write about a personal experience, not a philosophical thought or idea.
Try to pay attention to the small things in life with all their details,
the seasonal changes of your daily human life.
Every moment of your life counts!
Be Here and Now !





The Basics, the Essence ... of Japanese Haiku
! Click HERE !

The more I study in this field, the more I make a difference between Japanese haiku (a well defined genre with rules (yakusokugoto) to cherish
and
non-Japanese language haiku (mostly English, but also many other world languages now), which have created their own sets of rules and regulations to keep or ignore. Let us call them E-Haiku.

I will try and update these musings as I come along the problems.
