The flowers are yours and, being April, you should know I also memorized a poem of love and gratitude; but April being what it is, I admit there might have been some sudden weather of the kind that pinches buds until they burst with cries of leaves, of pools and odorous runoff. You know— this… Continue Reading

“Hey, I wanna’ take you someplace,” he says. “I don’t know.” I’m not in the mood. We’ve just had a few drinks and a smoke after another fight. Now we we’re driving round the suburbs of Miami at three in the morning. I’m sick of my boyfriend’s jealousy. Possessiveness I don’t mind; but the fucking… Continue Reading

So when users favorite my posts, I get a notice with a link to their blogs (if they have one). I always like to see what the other depraved reprobates are writing; and this post is a result of that. The story is a combination of two posts, Bottoms Up by Cara Thereon and ‘nother… Continue Reading

Will,
can’t be bad, now we have to finish the Senryu. LOL
Paul.
Funny you should write that. One of the major Japanese verse forms, from which haiku evolved, was Renga. This was a “long” poem in which several poets would alternate. It went like this:
5-7-5/7-7/5-7-5/7-7/etc.
The numbers represent the Japanese syllable count and the slash is a line break. In Basho’s time, a renga usually amounted to 36 verses and was called a kasen. The opening 5-7-5 verse was called a hokku. The hokku eventually became the stand-alone haiku in part, perhaps, because poets would often write their hokku ahead of time (before arriving at the Renga party) and began to think of the hokku as a poem in and of itself.
All this is a way of saying: If I could find some other haiku writers – Raziel? – we would finish this Senryu. Maybe it would end at sunrise? :-)
Thanks Will, I had no idea. Always happy to learn. Paul.
Very sensual. Suggestive, leaves a lot to the imagination.
I always enjoy learning about these different forms of poetry. I had no idea there were sonny.
