Bad A*s Poets Talking S**t Forum 'tis another idea!

this one is a little more complicated, and a little more easy to NOT have happen.

haiku // senryu.

i want to have someone write a haiku or senryu, then have other writers follow up with a SECOND haiku or senyu, that acts as a second stanza. there would have to be some kind of order, otherwise stanzas would be flying all over the place - whoevers turn it was NEXT would post all the previous haikus/senryus in their poem post, and then bolden or italicize their stanza or something.

the problem is (and it's a teeny problem at that), i love the idea of everyone RECORDING their stanza, then sending me the mp3 form so i can mix them all together. it would be evoca'd, and people could post the evoca link with the poem. the final idea is that we have a good amount of haikus/senryus writen by different voices, thenREAD by very different voices.... but all in one space.

this might just be me thinking crazy Om things.
so - yay or nay?

also, for those curious ones - the difference between haiku and senryu? haiku deals with nature, while senryu deals with human nature.

Yay...

you know I was just pondering haiku's last night with my older brother and I was thinking, How cool it has been for a group of poets to just put together something like that. A meeting of the minds and whatnot.

Yay yay!

I love writing haikus! I'm for it. I don't have that voice thing to record my voice. That might be a problem.

Deffinetly a yay. Here keepme posted. k Jamee'

I have no idea what the proper structure for a Haiku is. I am a half assed bad a*s.

haha halfassed....
hakiu!

5-7-5 structure

for example:

a soul is a book
of matches waiting to be
struck against itself

tada :)

Oh Ok then. Seemingly simple enough. But of course it is a real challenge I suppose in the end. Thanks Pip. ::smile::

Cold shaky hands smoke
life spent between Newports
cough puff-puff choke

*don't use this as an example...it sucks..i know*

hehe, but i like it
its like... urban haiku...
mm that sounds nice.

this idea is so lagging...
i've been sick
and i've hit midterms at school
and i've got a huge art show coming up
grrrrrr.
this is going to happen tho, i swear :D

counting counts. dang. I am down with this too.

These two my brother wrote...

Blank mind smiling face
There is nothing to plunder
Sea of ignorance

Mechanical god
Destroyer of precious files
Metal baseball bat

(I thought they were so funny...so i wanted to share.)

I'm in too, though I really suck at haiku. Guess I need to practice a few and see what happens.

dude, i LIKE those! is your bro up here, or just a naturally witty fellow?

A lot of japanense and elder writers consider a haiku to be imagery of nature. But me! I don't care. I'm down to write any haiku.

Daddy drinks alot
Mama and kids start crying
Another "happy" day

Sunshine over clouds
Produces rain in her heart
Today he has died


The second one would be a follow up to the first. Just with a "fantasy" version and a realistic version.

I'm just spouting off, don't pay me no mi
