  • failed haiku

    failedhaiku- a journal of English #senryu Volume 8, issue 90 is out and this beautiful issue brings #kyoka of poets from all over the world. #haikuhut #senryujournal

    Grateful to Bryan Rickert, the issue’s expert Editor for the guidance, acceptance & publication of my 3 kyoka.

    Kyoka are 5-lined like #tanka, but as Bryan says – “Think of kyoka being like senryu. Not a definite nature reference or kigo and it illuminates the human condition. They dont always need to be humorous and many people consider modern tanka to be kyoka.” #failedtanka

  • FreshOut

    Grateful to dear Eric Lohman, Editor, Fresh Out: An Arts & Poetry Collective for the publication of my 2nd #shahai in his journal on 28th May. This royal bird was caught by me on my evening walk—perched on the wall of a hostel.

    A shahai, combines a #haiku/tanka and an image. The image usually does not directly correspond to the haiku/tanka, but connects to it subtly. #haiga, #shahai, #birds, #peacock, #rewilding, #poetry, #poetrycommunity
