Hi Lorraine,

Can't remember, maybe if another submission followed too quickly after the first/previous one.

So, do consider submitting again!

warm regards,
Alan

But if you want to send me something to look at, I'll be interested.

Hi Lorraine,

If it's shahai (photograph+haiku) could you send me a sample/example?

warm regards,
Alan

hi Alan,

it would definitely be a shahai. yes, just wanted to know if it's something you'd consider since i put considerable effort into making of one. i can certainly put one together and show you what i have in mind.

Hi Lorraine,

Marion has given a good response so I'll try to be brief!

Yes, so many haiku organisations it does get confusing, and someone else got them mixed up on a different enquiry.

So it was the Haiku Society of America (established 1968) and this was a HSA Conference presentation:

Repetition in Haiku:
A Presentation and Workshop by Brad Bennett and Jeannie Martin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6k5kG9ruqw&t=14s

Sadly there doesn't seem to be a slides pdf for this presentation:
http://www.hsa-haiku.org/meetings/2021-conference.htm

I wouldn't call this a monostich, as they are often titled.


re:

lingering lavender scent silk lingerie


It's very olfactory and tactile and sensuous.  Perhaps consider submitting in October to the new one line poem journal: 

whiptail: journal of the single-line poem
https://www.whiptailjournal.com/submissions.html


It would also do well as a performance haikai verse. I still remember Karen holding an audience at the Poetry Society (UK) venue for ten minutes over one single senryu. Part of it was a deliberate delivery with precision comic timing, but also by default she did a John Cage 4′33″ (pronounced "four minutes, thirty-three seconds" or just "four thirty-three") which is a three-movement composition.

warm regards,
Alan

several weeks ago, alan gave a link to the virtual meetings of the haiku society of north america (probably got that name wrong) who videoed their annual meeting that was held back in june, 2021. the question i have involves repetition in haiku.

specifically, where the first word of the haiku is also the last. now. . .some of you know me by now, well enough to know that i didn't use the formula exactly

the monostich that i wrote was:::

lingering lavender scent silk lingerie

does the similarity of lingering / lingerie come across as i intended as a use of repetition? to me, this is kin to near rhyme / off rhyme in longer poetry forms.

i presented it as a haiga for submission, complete with calligraphically spaced text on my photo. although my other two were liked, this one was passed on.

so. . .all that aside, does this monostich work or not the way i originally thought of it?

Hi Lorraine, your post caught my eye.

Firstly, when pronounced aloud,lingering and lingerie sound very different to my ear. There is certainly visual similarity in that a lot of letters are the same, lingeri but the alliteration of L sounds is what I hear when I read this aloud and this has a sensual effect.

The word scent seems redundant, as this comes through inlavender. Even silk might be discarded. But that's just my opinion. In any case, just the three elements below are highly evocative. The lingering could refer to a hint of lavender in the air, or discarded lavender-coloured lingerie and the first and last words are a lot closer now.

lingering lavender lingerie

You mention that it was used in a haiga. Perhaps it was simply the combination of art and text that didn't work for the editor?

Sorry, I seem to have answered your question with a question!

marion

hi Alan,

wow! the words you use to describe this short ku! i'm glad you like it!

i took a look at the link for the new journal. i can submit as a haiga or a concrete ku or just straight. ahhhh, choices!

i noticed in your call of the page newsletter that you'll be offering a monoku class? running tandem with whiptails startup. nice for both of you.

thanks for the conversation.
