A world of dew And within every dewdrop A world of struggle The
iconic three-line haiku form is increasingly popular today as
people embrace its simplicity and grace--and its connections to the
Japanese ethos of mindfulness and minimalism. Say more with fewer
words. This practical guide by poet and teacher Bruce Ross shows
you how to capture a fleeting moment, like painting a picture with
words, and how to give voice to your innermost thoughts, feelings,
and observations. You don't have to be a practiced poet or writer
to write your own haiku, and this book shows you how. In this book,
aspiring poets will find: Accessible, easy-to-replicate examples
and writing prompts A foreword that looks at the state of haiku
today as the form continues to expand worldwide An introduction to
related Japanese haiku forms such as tanka, haiga, renga, haibun,
and senryu A listing of international journals and online resources
Do you want to tell a story? Give haibun a try. Maybe you want to
express a fleeting feeling? A tanka is the perfect vehicle. Are you
more visual than verbal? Then a haiga, or illustrated haiku, is the
ideal match. Finally, a renga is perfect as a group project or to
create with friends, passing a poem around, adding line after line,
and seeing what your group effort amounts to. Ross walks readers
through the history and form of haiku, before laying out what sets
each Japanese poetic form apart. Then it's time to turn to your
notebook and start drafting some verse of your own!
