5 minutes on Haiku, The Japanese Art of Poetry

What is Haiku?
Haiku 俳句 is the Japanese Art of Poetry.
Be in the present moment and simply express what we see, feel, hear, smell, taste in the form of 5+7+5 syllables, with a "Kigo季語", the word that represents each season). Haiku connects us with nature, seasons, objects and our inner self.... Limited usage of words brings open space for the readers to imagine and expand......

    We are doing a homeschool unit on Haikus and I wanted my son to gain firsthand knowledge from a Native speaker of Japanese. He got inspired and wrote his own Haiku! Thank you!

    I can tell you we have never had a Haiku speak to us like yours did. It is so deep and elegant! Japanese Haiku is so beautiful because it reminds us to bring our attention back to our day to day lives, which is where Reality is, instead of looking for something extraordinary, whether its liberation, salvation or that next best job or thing. This is why I love Haiku. Thank you so much for sharing Azumi. Absolutely beautiful!

    I feel through this Lankan poet that there is a deep ecology of understanding. Thank you for sharing this. So little is known (at least here in Quebec) about Sri Lanka. Theravadan Haiku has a future.

    Enjoyed your analysis. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a haibun. Having returned from the Colorado Rockies, I can’t help but notice the varying pitches of water-the close trickling of small brooks, finding their way down from high altitude snow, left over from last winter. This sound is brittle, and disappearing as fast when you walk by. Sometimes you may discover a deep murmur from some undetermined direction, just suddenly apparent as a deep pitch. Then you know you’re approaching a big mountain stream. A somewhat higher pitch, ever-present-or present for a long while (perhaps for hours )-is the pitch from water- falls on the other side of the valley, cascading down from on high in a mighty roar that is diluted when passing across great distances across the valleys, reaching you like a steadfast background pitch. When there are several waterfalls present, they all appear in different pitches, and you can imagine the vividness of these on passages of the hike when all these dif- ferent water pitches mix.

    謄姫🥨🌰 :-) Rather than 'haiku' - "what to say" - we (the Polish) say, usually 'cześć' - but that's a lot of _material_ to discern. It's just a normal greeting for most, but archaically refers to 'homage' or 'glory' ("chwała"). Funnily enough, 'chwała' (properly /glory/) evokes /chałwa/ (a simple 'stepback'). Could also evoke coffee ;) Obviously, 'halva' (or the word in any other dialect - always very similar and familiar) refers to "half-and-half". It's a food - a produce - of course, but shouldn't really be mistaken for "something to eat" or "something to sell, or even "something to get [at the grocery store?] - you know, it's about sharing, ceremony... Tea ceremonies and similar events like that are rather rare in Poland or even in Europe. At least in this "style". Or all over the world, even. It's a great shame, but I'm glad I'm able to "re-learn" this from you. All the best :)

    Thank you for your correction. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a haiku devoted to Matshuo Bashō’s frog ( with commentary by Jane Reichhold ) and a tanka devoted to Issa’s snail. Bashō’s frog - four hundred years of ripples “The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of the sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water. As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us that we are ripples and our lives ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain” -Jane Reichhold ~~ centuries later issa’s snail finally arrives at the pond - frightened by Bashō’s frog it slips in without a sound ~~ All love from Miami Beach, Florida, Al
