World of Haiku - Continuously Updated

1.  http://www.ahapoetry.com/haiartjr.htm


This site provides a very good introduction to the various aspects and characters of Haiku by Jane Reichhold. Most useful as we move slowly into the amazing world of Haiku. I particularly like the commentary on the lesser known Issa.

Based upon Jane Reichold's elaboration, I can see that I am not diligently following the rules of Haiku writing. No matter. First personal, then general :-) and Jane said its okay. The more you know about the forms. The more you'll learn.

Check her Talk: http://fora.tv/2009/04/23/Haiku_of_Master_Basho_Jane_Reichhold#fullprogram
A most enlightening elaboration on Haiku in particular, and poetry in general.

2. http://haiku-poems.50webs.com/

This was the first site checked when I started searching for Haiku References. Simple Introduction.

3. http://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm

This is an excellent site for Early English Learners. Use of Haiku as part of TESOL and Cognitive skill development. Worksheets included.

But Jane Reichhold said that there's no plural in Haiku. Haiku is Japanese word. Its plural is just like Sheep. That's it.

Not exactly a Haiku site. This is a Bahasa Melayu (BM) site of a Teacher. Excellent for BM Teaching.
