Well maybe there is an increased awareness about creative writing 🌸 Hard to know!

Haha right? I've heard about other poets getting them too. Just wondering if we are ALL receiving these. Too funny.

Thanks so much! It's a thrill to see this poem in the wonderful ONE ART! 😍

Sounds interesting:)

Anyway, the idea of a haiku (or senryu) with juxtaposition was surprising to me. I'm always open to being shown something new, so I thought I'd ask :)

I would say the jux between human and flea experience.

pig and I spring rain

I dont recall seeing a haiku without jux. There's haiku with overlapping cuts, or w/o a "cutting" word (English is different than Japanese), but there's still jux. Sometimes it's a zoom (temple bell) or time shift. Kwim?

Do you have an example of a haiku without jux?

Awww...can't believe I missed this call because I was busy editing my own lit mag of small poems (we're closed now). I'm looking forward to reading your selections, Tom!

Thank you!

:)

So glad you enjoyed this, Kris! Nice to share a fun one :)
