Help with your haiku...

Tue Jul 28, 2009, 7:29 AM
For those newer to haiku the following links will be especially useful, but they aren't without merit even for those with a little more experience.

Take a look at the following 4-part haiku clinic authored by the late William J. Higginson, renowned haiku writer, exponent, and author of The Haiku Handbook.

Part 1: [link]
Part 2: [link]
Part 3: [link]
Part 4: [link]

As the haikuthon is almost over I thought it would be a good time to provide some useful material for anybody getting to grips with the haiku form. The above links should help everyone to take their practice further after the haikuthon ends.

For a variety of other useful links take a look at my previous journal entries.

As a side note: I've been very busy of late and haven't had as much time to visit everyone's haikuthon entries as I did for the first couple of weeks, but I'll definitely be making visits and leaving comments etc soon.

That's all for now.

Hope everyone is well and keep up the haiku writing :)

I'll tell you what 'twas all about,--
I had money and he had none,
And that's the way the noise begun."
