In-Depth Haiku: Free Discussion Area / How to lend voice to the speaker in haiku?
« on: October 05, 2016, 10:02:15 PM »...so like, when like, the haiku or any of its three-two-one-four line siblings is lending voice to like a chipmunk, how does the poet make it clear that the speaker is the bird or animal in the haiku that does the talking?
Like for instance, if a frog does some speaking and that happens to be the haiku, or the speaker in the haiku is a frog, how does the poet show that?

New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / feminist takes in haiku and other oriental forms
« on: February 02, 2016, 01:14:57 PM »
When reading a book on modern and post modern takes on poetry, I came across the thought ( am paraphrasing it): Male benevolence afforded to women, is also a form of authority.
Well, there are tomes that can be written on that one liner, but the question(s) it triggered is this:
Are there any feminist poets in haiku? What has the haiku tradition been like esp. when taking the feminist wave(s) into consideration?
I ask, because the Japanese culture too, like most Asian cultures did allow for women voices, though there were not that many voices to be heard...

New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / History of Haiku and other Japanese oriental forms of poetry

Hello All,
my grammar Ninjas will frown at the grammar sleight, but then I think I can invoke the poetic licence and refer to the uppercase A as a matter of reverence.
Being here is an education. I am learning to write haiku.
Which is why I wish to learn more about the origins of haiku and the timeline, the evolution and the progress made over the years.
Let us have a discussion about the historical influence on the evolution of haiku and also
the history of haiku and other oriental forms of poetry.
Thank you
