Organizing your haiku

[AgnesEvaS]

That's why I like the single spreadsheet with multiple tabs (or sheets in a single workbook); no need for extra documents.
When I have partial haiku I just enter them into their own square. As I comb through for submissions, I run across them and enter finishing ideas or add on to them!

Hi Jan,

SNIP

--- Q 4 U , do you keep up with favorite words or unused/partial phrases for future use?
Alan's method spoke to this.

I find having a fragments and phrases document really useful and had hundreds that are now used up to complete haiku, so I need to start bringing more into that file.    Everyone will have their own methods of collating fragments be it old school notebooks, or spreadsheets etc...

Fragments of poems, ideas, lines in general, can be really useful to push us into better juxtapositions that are not just explaining the other part of the haiku.  It makes us go for a further leap that lets the haiku pack a real punch. :)

warm regards,

Alan
