there’s something about the form and the limitation of haiku that I like. upon, intending to do a haiku, the restrictions of slab placement line, spacing, and depth in the choice of words can be painstaking for pleasurable , casual activity if that is a focus or a centered goal of recreation and time spent in action.
In order to make use of cyber-and-potential-print space I used the “//“ double forward slash as a means of indicating line breaks, to mt knowledge/assumptions, a charistic of poetry amongst famously cherished authors in the USA as being designed by lay-folk, black authors, and various artists who are not associated or assimilated by allegiances to be “proper.”
the choice to roll out a special character for creative formatting puts a premium on originality rather than effort to maintain tradition, and special bonus features like the pacing of the reader, the look of the design, and the song/rhythm/melody this given relatively minor variations in the legacy. An importance to asking whether or not this piece of written word is worth reading yet, or in the context of haiku, something that would be highlighted and given as curriculum material for students learning of Japanese literature in their language arts, world history, and creative writing/humanities coursework.
Where should I seek permission to use the word “haiku” and who would authorize me a traitor for using a form I had never seen and assuming the transliteration originated in the midst of my family history taking a central position in the discussions I’ve been having about art on TikTok?
my in action asks where is the book? Where are those hundreds of pages of pros and poetry and captions and photographs and stories? Where is the publication that justifies a life seeking to justify a work called living with what I have and have been given. In the pursuit of being free, I hold onto visions of what could be five seconds from, now five eons from now, or 5 feet from here and now.
I remember at one time banning the use of descriptive nouns and adjectives as being sensational and an immature form of writing (being steep in off the cuff, judgments and micro aggressions at the binary opposite of descriptor used).
Recently in the news, I saw that Donald Trump made an announcement and was giving a speech to make English the official language of the United States of America. I’m using text to speech and can only assume that the words that I inhabit and the words that the processor will soon be led by political and economic values that both decry conditioned illiteracy/miseducation/poverty of access and the desire of many to include voices beyond what the ivory towers of academia, and pomp and circumstance of formal affairs related to who is invited to speak, write, or respond.
a people educated(indoctrinated)by any state is dependent on that state for affirmation and support through validation and representation. as long as there are disparities in standardized departmental education, surely there are going to be different views about slang: different views about what is proper And perhaps cultural values that are inherently anti-common tongue, anti-inferior dialect and pigeon, anti-post literacy or non standardized tongue. Using words that I have on the words at the processor was gonna be forced to going to have different views about slang.
