Wind (Emily Translated To Senryu) Comments

My basic belief is no labels. I fought for over 30 years with haiku nazis, now I'm old enough to ignore them. I kinda like the term Senryu, which I've seen translated as human haiku. Of course, with my rebellious nature, I define human differently than the sticklers =: -) I'm from the whitman school of poetics, and tend to see everything up for experimentation and enjoyment of the words rather than an argument over form =: -) Thanks for stopping by & commenting! - Rich

Ahh - after writing my reply I visited your site & your poem & your 'levity' question makes more sense. I am wholeheartedly a proponent of levity in haiku & have a disdain for the nazis who make up rules on the spot and say otherwise =: -) I'd love to read your levity haiku, and I will now retire to my palacy.
