I used haiku to keep myself sane while recovering from an illness years ago. Ended up sticking with it 'cause I liked the feeling so much. Just released my first haiku collection the other day, eggplants & teardrops: a haiku collection. Stick with it, guys!
I wrote my first haiku today..... I think I'm obsessed with them now? They are just SO FUN to write!!!! I can't believe it took me this long in my life to find out what a haiku is!!!!
I write haiku because I love writing poetry in general, but haiku in particular is special because it focuses your mind on a singular, complex moment, to the point where the process of writing becomes almost a deep, meditative experience.
He's speaking with such an honest and self-aware mind. You can perceive that he went through a long process of self-reflection, which happened just by choosing the words that were really meaningful to him.

Hello Z, I really loved you speech. It was so inspirational. Here's a hiaku just for you: You are much a jem! a diamond in the deep rough; a valuable soul.
Reading this after covid-19 lockdowns....haven't been inside a cafe for 10 months.... would be full of gratitude for that simple pleadure of drinking a latte in my favorite cafe again ❤.
@@sby60118 you know what, you can ignore 5-7-5 rule as long as they are your real emotion at that moment of writing. dont limit yours and others' emotion of freedom of art. after all in the strict form of haiku a seasonal word should be added, but emotions dont always have a season.
Thank you SO much - now I know far more how to face my audience at the McGregor Festival, which is coming up from 19 to 21 of November. My very first Poetry Festival and I have two spots to share my haiku with professional poets - me, a little backwoods girl (actually a battered world-weary and world-torn academic editor living in a small fishing village on the West Coast of South Africa). Still really intimidated about it all, but I feel MUCH better now. So, once again, I wish to say: thank you SO much.
It's an admirable project and it is done with good intentions, but haiku is more to do with seasons and how they interact or connect with humanity aesthetically, spiritually, and emotionally than a syllable count (which made for Japanese and does not translate well to other languages). What Mr. Tam is writing is more western micropoetry rather than haiku. Sorry to sound like a snob, but as a widely published haiku poet, I like to inform people about the craft I love. As award-winning haiku poet Michael Dylan Welch says: "Haiku in English is typically a three-line poem that uses concrete sensory images to convey or imply natural and human seasonal phenomena, using a two-part juxtapositional structure as well as simple and primarily objective language. Originally a Japanese genre of poetry, now written and adapted in many languages worldwide, traditional haiku in Japanese consists of seventeen sounds (not to be confused with syllables) in a pattern of 5-7-5. Because of differences in language, this rhythm is generally not followed for literary haiku in most languages other than Japanese. As intuitive and emotional poems, haiku often capture a sense of wonder and wholeness in presenting existence such as it is. Rather than presenting one’s emotions, haiku present the cause of one’s emotions, thus empowering the reader to have the same intuitive reaction to an experience that the poet had. "
English language haiku doesn’t have to have 5,7,5. Japanese haiku counts “mora” which is different to English syllables. “Nippon” for example, has 4 mora but two syllables. “Scarf” has 4 mora but 1 syllable. It’s similar for many other words. So in English language haiku it’s good to aim for less than 12 ( absolutely no more than 17) syllables with a 2 line phrase and a one line fragment. The juxtaposition between the phrase and the fragment creates the poetic scene/feeling/imagery. Single line and two line are also possible if you are skilled enough.
Exactly. And his haiku are too cerebral and in his own head. Haiku are supposed to be observational using mainly the 5 senses. The reader would supply the emotion. Also seasonal words and a cut are needed. The Haiku Handbook (Higginson) would have been a good book for him to have read first or at least somewhere along the way of his journey.
@@bubba101010 i think the whole beauty of it is not that Zezan Tam gave us a technical classic poetry lesson but that he shared an experience of how he jokingly adopted an unfamiliar thing, made it his own and set on a journey that otherwise wouldn't happen, a journey of learning things and appreciating being alive deeply - which is one of the definitions of poetry to me - so in the end he did give us a poetry lesson, but of it's essence instead of the technique. yes, it's a poetry of slightly self-centered, individualistic modern person, slightly obsessed with bettering oneself, but this only makes it better reflect the modern world and culture. See, writing like Matsuo Bashō would only be a grave-digging and meaningless stylisation. While this guy, Zezan Tam, to whom i'm instantly grateful (yeah, grateful lol) even used a goddamn plastic coffee cup mobile photograph instead of the etching or the ink wash painting to illustrate his setting. This is truly a profound experience
Very much enjoyed your your poems and reading. I, too, am a Poet but specialize in Japanese forms: i. e. haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku tribute poem to Matsuo Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my poem among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor. Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary: Bashō,s frog four hundred years of ripples - -Al Fogel “At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. 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 all that we are only ripples and our lives are that ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain”. And my tanka: returning home from a Jackson Pollock exhibition I smear my face with paint and turn into art -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al
These aren't really haiku, they're senryu. But that's pedantic of me, he admits he's not an expert. His greater goal of encouraging people to examine their life is a good one.
Doesn't matter what it's called. I am writing this for myself. When I spend my time, criticizing, I don't allow the good stuff to make it's way to me. I get to write a haiku about it! Oops. Senryu.
You should write whatever you want. Don't limit yourself to syllables and rules someone made up. But you can still write haikus too. Just remember to be yourself when writing
Haikus are truly a form of poetry unlike any other; not only are the rules simple, but there is only one rule! 5. 7. 5. It is just restricting enough to get creative with it, but free enough to give original material every time.
Marvelous! I'm grateful to have seen this video. I've never related my daily grateful morning routine (and during the day ) to HAIKU. It will help a lot, making your grateful time artistic! I think we all have an artistic tic side and this idea will as thrive artistically and in a spiritual way. Thank you! Did you think on that day making the audience practice Haiku? Like composing in 5 min or less their Haiku?
No Earth no Sky yet still it snows. The Hibiscus by the road. My horse ate it. The Mother I never knew- Every time i see the ocean. Every time. The pass at Izuzu - Best to use horses. Having no talent I long for sleep.Noisy birds. The English translation of these classic Haiku show that we are mostly ignornat of the cultural and historic context. What we are missing as well is the wonderful sounds of the original language. In the West we are scolded for trying to follow the rules of 5 7 5 and they are correct. We are failing to use the wonderful sounds we can make with English words. An extra word 5 7 6 or 5 8 5 perhaps would make our Haiku sing. I propose we create Haiku20 poems using no more than 20 still with 3 lines so that our language can be put to the form. Examples below with 5 7 5 then Haiku20. 5 7 5 forced this... Starship lies derelict Half buried in Martian sands A Dread thing waits there. Haiku20 The Starship lies derelict Half buried in the sands of Mars. A Dread thing waits there. 5 7 5 forced this...

Maybe haikus sound good in Japanese. I wouldn't know, i cant read it.
