I would appreciate insights on the differences in haiku of different countries. For example, some of Japanese haiku have a surreal tone which is not present in the haiku in United States. The haiku in United States focus on emotional resonance while Eastern European haiku have an incline towards the mystic and nature. I've also observed that Indian haiku are social in nature. I would appreciate your views on this.

I am curious what are the favorite haiku of the members and who are your favorite haiku poets- both classical and contemporary?

In-Depth Haiku: Free Discussion Area / Yugen
April 05, 2019, 06:58:08 AM
I would appreciate your views on Yugen. I would very much like to work on my haiku to imbibe this Japanese aesthetic, but it always remains so elusive. Wabi and sabi is also difficult but Yugen is something out of reach. I cannot understand it properly. Is it only evoked by terms like fog, mist, night, shadows. How can we imbibe Yugen in our writing?

I've recently read the techniques of haiku by Late Ms. Jane Reichold Ma'am. She wrote that author's intervention should be minimum in haiku, e.g. instead of writing 'I listen', she would use 'listening' to eliminate the 'I'. But few weeks before, I've read we should not use gerund in haiku. Which path would you advise to follow- gerund or no gerund?

I submitted to Frogpond journal on March 29, 2019 but I didn't get acknowledgement for it. Thinking my email was not delivered, I re-sent the mail on March 30 and March 31. Still I didn't get acknowledgement. I am confused if my submission has not reached the journal. How can I know whether my submission is received or not? If it was not received, can I submit it's haiku for a contest?

Thank you.

Respected haijins,
I would appreciate your views on whether a haiku shared in this forum considered as published by journals like The Heron's Nest and Frogpond?
