Whats Does the Basho Haiku After Heavy Winds This Morning Once Again the Peppers Are Crimson

Assorted dragonflies

Did I accept any idea what I was getting myself into when I appear this topic? No, I did not. I had no idea that and then many people would send me so much varied and astonishing poetry about dragonflies. Just as I had no thought at that place were and then many kinds of dragonflies until I started doing a little (okay, a lot) of inquiry…

I'll launch into the poesy in a minute, but first off, for those amid yous who like me have to know every. single. thing. there is to know. about something before you lot can maybe just savor reading about it (yeah, we are annoying)… here is the Wikipedia commodity on dragonflies (which fascinatingly contains an entire section on the role dragonflies play in Japanese culture and fifty-fifty references haiku) and here is the page on dragonfly kigo from Gabi Greve'southward Earth Kigo Database.

Okay, I'll shut upward now and let y'all enjoy this dream of dragonflies.

Multimedia Interlude:

Sick of everything effectually here being flat and quiet?  I found some moving stuff that makes noise for yous likewise.

  • Kickoff, in that location's this amazing (very) short picture by Paul Kroeker of the last moments of a dragonfly's life, which I discovered via Donna Fleischer at give-and-take pond. Information technology'due south set to music and is incredibly compelling:

http://www.petapixel.com/2011/08/xi/spontaneous-and-creative-short-film-of-a-dying-dragonfly-shot-with-a-canon-7d/

  • Second, there are several versions of the well-known Japanese folk song (I hateful, well-known to the Japanese) Aka Tombo, which means "Red Dragonfly." This is plain an indispensable part of every Japanese child's upbringing. There are an nearly infinite number of variations of this on YouTube and so if these four aren't enough for you, feel free to go noodling around over there looking for more.

When I was a kid, living on an Air Strength base in Okinawa, information technology was a common belief, amid the elementary school gear up, a dragonfly would eat itself if yous defenseless information technology and fed it its ain tail.  I looked online and didn't find any references to this notion and then maybe we were all sniffing the skilful Japanese glue.

Anyway, even though we constantly snagged lizards and grasshoppers and cicadas, I never saw whatsoever one ever catch a dragonfly, as mutual as they were.

Dearest readers,

I know you're probably sick of me by now after my interminable rambling about HNA, simply here'southward your adventure to get your revenge by making me read your writing for a change.

Remember back final month when nosotros all went crazy for mushrooms? Mushroom haiku. Mushroom tanka. Mushroom haiga. Mushroom photos. Mushroom drawings. It was and so much fun I feel like doing it over again. No, non with mushrooms. I think we've played out mushrooms. Wonderful as they are.

Then how about … dragonflies?Green dragonfly

Yes, I practice have a vested interest in dragonflies. And I e'er experience like I don't run across enough dragonfly haiku. Issa wrote a lot of them, which makes me happy, but more recently I feel like their currency has fallen off. And you guys always surprise me. In a good way. I'd love to see what you have to say about dragonflies.

Not to mention, I accept a large collection of dragonfly photos and artwork all ready to back-trail your bright words. It'll be awesome.

In one case over again, I'm taking haiku, tanka, and haiga. Published or unpublished. You tin send them to reddragonflyhaiku AT gmail DOT com.

Deadline: Sunday Baronial 14. (They'll be posted adjacent week sometime.)

The fine print:

1. If I post poems on my blog, they count equally published for the purposes of most journals' editorial policies, then don't send me anything you are hoping to publish in an edited journal.

2. Yous volition retain all rights to your piece of work afterward information technology has appeared here. I will non publish it anywhere else or postal service it here more than than once unless we make other arrangements to do and so.

iii. Make sure you send me whatsoever name you want your verse form signed with and any link(s) y'all want me to include — to a weblog, website, Twitter feed, whatever.

iv. If your poem has been published, make sure to send me the publishing credits because publishers similar it when you credit them.

5. Also, I can't guarantee to post everything people ship me, sorry. (What if I get 500 of these things? I won't, but what if?)

6. Over again: Borderline: Sunday, Baronial 14, 2011. Midnight, wherever you are. (Nobody in the world is more than seven or eight hours behind me, so any I come across in my inbox when I get up on Mon morning is it.)

7. Feel free to spread the give-and-take well-nigh this request to your friends and enemies.

eight. Any other questions or comments? That's what the comments box is for. Or the electronic mail accost higher up.

.

Thanks in advance for the wings,

Melissa

Yes, that is my front door. Aye, that is a red dragonfly door knocker next to it. Yes, I do have a perfectly functional doorbell. And a door to knock on. Simply if you ever come up to my house you must use the ruddy dragonfly door knocker that my sis gave me for my birthday, because otherwise how will I know that there is a haiku enthusiast standing outside?

I'thousand leaving my house and my door knocker today to go to Seattle for Haiku North America. Will try to report back at intervals. Stay tuned.

Hi haiku folk,

This is the beginning of National Library Week in the U.South. I don't care where you lot alive, you are going to be celebrating this with me, because in case it hadn't registered with you before, I am studying to exist a librarian when I grow up. (In case, you know, the whole fame-and-fortune-through-haiku thing doesn't pan out for me.)

So here's my obligatory public service announcement: Delight do your part to support libraries so that I will be able to find a job when I graduate from library school so that we can facilitate the gratuitous flow of information that is necessary to the health of a democratic society. Or something.

… No, seriously. I know you lot all probably beloved libraries already, merely in case you didn't know, a lot of politicians don't. They call back libraries are frivolous institutions that exist but to provide a lot of namby-pamby middle-grade people with books of poetry (honestly, could annihilation be more than…irrelevant…than poetry?) and the latest romance novels. They don't see whatsoever relationship between the health of libraries and the health of the economy. They think everyone gets their information from the Internet these days anyway. They'd rather spend the greenbacks on bombers.

Guess what? More than people use libraries at present than ever before. In America, a huge percent of the population has admission to the Internet only through their public library. Librarians aid them await for jobs, figure out how to pay their taxes (did you hear that, politicians?), study to become more qualified for jobs, determine whether those emails from the nice Nigerian businessman are actually legitimate, and yes, occasionally even obtain impress and audiovisual materials that improve their lives in a myriad of ways. And that'southward just public libraries. Don't go me started on all the other kinds.

So if y'all oasis't been to the library in a while, why non make a trip this week? And say something squeamish to the librarian. And if you happen to run into your local legislator somewhere, tell him or her about all the stuff I said. Forget the bombs…bring on the books.

(Note: Because this web log believes in truth in advert, all the breathy public service announcements promoting libraries in today's column will be printed in bold. Enjoy.)

Haiku of the Week

A couple of peachy cerise dragonfly haiku showed upwards in my feed reader this week. Because I am shamelessly self-centered, they get to go beginning.

Okay, the residual of y'all can be seated now.

Springtime with Issa

Tom Clark of Beyond the Pale gives us an explosion of Issa leap haiku, accompanied past astonishing photography. Just go read it and await at it and breathe. We made it through again. (This link courtesy of Don Wentworth . He ever knows about the coolest stuff. Probably considering he'south a librarian.)

.

Asahi Haikuist Network

Sheesh. Somebody should have told me about this a while ago…a whole cavalcade in a Japanese paper featuring English-language haiku. In that location's a different theme for every biweekly issue, which includes commentary by the editor, David McMurray. (Yous tin can ship him your ain haiku — run across the directions at the bottom of every cavalcade.)

–Ralf Broker (Federal republic of germany)

.

"Chances"

.
On the NaHaiWriMo Facebook page the other day, Alan Summers shared a link to an astonishing animated haiku presentation by Jeffrey Winke, and now I have to get in that location every single twenty-four hour period and stare at information technology. Very moving haiku. In both senses of the word "moving."

cooling grasses
tears that get-go in her eyes
run down my face

— Jeffrey Winke

At the Border of Silver and Tacky: Meet Ed Baker

Ed Baker is a sui generis poet whose poesy sometimes looks similar haiku and sometimes like itself; he likes to call a lot of what he writes "shorties," which works for me. He'south also a painter and a sculptor. You should get to know him a lilliputian bit, which y'all tin can practice by going to visit him with Geof Huth of dbqp: visualizing poetics. Geof spent a day with Ed a few years ago and has the photos to testify it. (Thanks to Joseph Hutchison over at The Perpetual Bird for sharing this link.)

After (or beforehand, I suppose, might be even ameliorate), you should get over to Ed's own site and read what he writes. Similar this:

— Ed Baker, from Neighbor Book half dozen Afterwards

How To Become Rid Of Your Money

An anonymous haiku fan who apparently has some spare cash (I knew in that location had to exist at least one!) has offered to triple any donations given to The Haiku Foundation in the month of April. So if yous got a bigger revenue enhancement refund than you expected and you have all the groceries y'all need for a while, yous could send them some money to fund, yous know…haiku stuff.

(Then if y'all take any more than spare money? In that location'south this deserving not-quite-immature-anymore haiku poet and blogger who's accepting donations to fund her lavish haiku-writing lifestyle. Contact me for details most where to postal service the check…)

Expressionless Tree News

I really hope I've mentioned this before, just all the women out at that place in the Haikuverse need to think well-nigh submitting your best haiku (and senryu) to Aubrie Cox for her groundbreaking album of women'south English-language haiku. The deadline is Apr 15th. The relevant email address is paperlanternhaiku AT gmail DOT com and you lot should include 5 to fifteen poems, your proper noun, country, a brief bio of 150 words or less, and whatever applicative publication credits of submitted poems.

When Aubrie started this projection she mentioned that although no anthology of women's English-language haiku had yet been assembled, Makoto Ueda had put together a fine ane of Japanese women's haiku, chosen Far Across the Field. Then I got it and I've been wandering through it delightedly for the last month or so. It'southward a physically lovely object, tall and narrow and outwardly dressed in spring light-green, with lots of white space within to create room for idea around every haiku. There'south lots of infinite for thought effectually every poet, too; Ueda has created a substantial section for each woman with a preceding brief disquisitional and biographical essay.

I don't desire to blather on almost this too much because the haiku stand on their ain, and if you're interested you should notice yourself a re-create of the book. (This is a link to the WorldCat library itemize, which will assistance you detect a copy of this book at a library near y'all.) I'll simply throw out a few of my favorites to brand your mouth h2o and and so run away and leave you hanging, because I'k heartless that way.

It'due south the terminate of a long, draining week. I thought we (at least we here in the U.S.) could all apply some entertainment, and an opportunity to take ourselves non quite as seriously as usual.

So: The thing all these haiku take in common is that, conspicuously, they are not haiku. They are some of the eccentric search strings that have led people to this page from Google. I like to entertain myself by trying to imagine what was going through people'due south minds when they entered these searches, and by what tortured logic the search engine directed them here in a vain attempt to fulfill their information needs.

I accept a large drove of other search strings, virtually of which practice not lend themselves and then easily to existence converted to pseudohaiku. Some of them are quite beautiful, though. Some are thought-provoking, probably in a way their author did not intend. Some I'm thinking of using every bit writing prompts in the future. ("Poems most bad wolves"? Aye, I would read a poem about bad wolves.)

Here are a few of them. Bask. And take a few deep breaths this weekend.
