higherku
a form of poetry which distills the essence of a haiku | |
much can be done with little. we need a new branch of poetry dealing with elemental minimalism.
example:
haiku:
An old pond
a frog jumps in
Sound of water
higherku:
water sound frog
haiku
The sores on my feet
heal faster cause i washed them
2
days in a row
higherku:
feet wash heal

For your first example...
Frog jumps. Plop!
...is a better distillation. I can't think about the sores on your feet without severe mental discomfort however. |

Haiku:
Scented snow-white froth
Glides away on wings of water
Until it is replaced
|
|
| |
Higherku:
Lather rinse repeat |
|
| |
Waug: The "frog" example fails to fit Haiku meter because it's a translation from the Japanese. (In fact, it's one of the most popular haikus in Japan.) |
|
| |
And at any rate, strict adherence to the 5-7-5 rule isn't considered as important as the *semantic* constraints of Haiku (a mention of the season, a point at which the subject suddenly changes, etc.) - at least, not for haiku written in languages other than Japanese, which tend to count syllables differently anyway. |

passify the poetry
the spirit quantified
the sum given |
|
| |
HALF FOOD
HALF WOOD
NUTS GOOD |
|
| |
I have no concerns
I am free from strife and sorrow
Perhaps I'm not sane
|
|
| |
Red, orange, yellow
I live for a tomorrow
that doesn't exist.

ok, lemme try this... since i'm a not so widely published (one poem, one book...) poet more concerned with thermodynamic efficiency than rhyme.. oh hey, a topic for a poem! |

My 'ku
Inlet compression
gives rise to air's energy
the sky burns again |
|
| |
Higher Coo:
move, burn, move faster. |
|

Higher_ku:
whoosh, crackle, roar. |

i think i get it. wow, what a powerful not so new form of poetic expression. Ah, yes, the co.jp refers to the idea being a minimalistic form similar to japanese haiku. Had I been more elaborate in the writing of that conceptualization, i would have chosen a country domain appropriate to the style of the message. Anyhow, enjoy, and i shall sleep well knowing the internet is further polluted by my grandoise ideas...
Achooo! |
