I have long loved the simple ways of the Japanese Haiku poem. Upon rising this morning, even before my coffee... I was inspired.

As I recall, because my son had to do them in like 8th grade, it had to reflect a season... so I googled it to be sure, and the site I found made mention of only the five-seven-five rule. I also seem to recall that the Japanese would play an actual party game incorporating the simple poem... imagine going to a party like that.

*smiles and gives him a hug... oh yes... how well I know this just from my own family experiances. My father is borderline altshymer... if it were not for the meds my brother would have had no option but to place him in a home. Soooo... we move through the changes together yes?
I forget which book it was that I read years and years ago, but there was a poem game that the party goers played. It makes sense... I think every culture has had this... up to the invention of the record player where everyone began more to listen. A 106 year oldman once explained to me - in my day, we all sang... good bad or indifferent... we all sang.
That was how the haiku began, I believe -- via the Japanese game of writing linked series of poems called renga. The haiku (if I have this right) developed as the portions of renga that were then published and shared by themselves, as a separate poetic form. The tanka I think was the same way... I believe the renga form alternates between haiku and tanka, each building on and continuing the imagery in the last. Something like that, anyway. :)
I like it . Somehow it's beautiful to me ^^ It makes me think of puppies that don't know any better , or are do mischievous to learn >=3 And every now and then the smell of poo is nice , but urine ? Ughhh >< My teacher has us doing tankas and haikus . I've done quite a bit and like them ^^ Tanka is fun . No one can seem to remember how to spell it though >> last time it was tanko . Eh , I like doing the sonnets more though . I'm just a rhyming sort of person ^^
I laughed out loud. Never been fond of dogs, really, so in some perverse way I feel relief that I have never had a dog... or maybe it's just pure... schadenfreude, if that's the word. Anyway, this lit up my night, really, I laughed out loud a long time. So cynical and down-to-earth. Great little piece, not all the poems have to be beautiful and touching, this is just something... everyday. Good work, I really enjoyed reading this.
