Haiku #257: daybreak; / from the middle of the rain / a skylark song

i made this earlier before i saw the haiku. early morning, rain on the window, it seems to fit.

two synths - helm and a live 10 vocoder synth. improvised and a bit of processing in audacity

Together with Basho, Onitsura (1661–1738) helped redefine the haikai no renga (linked verse) and elevated it into a literary genre in its own right. Around this time, the opening stanza of this collaborative linked poem (hokku) started appearing as an independent poem, which Masaoka Shiki will rename haiku in the 19th century.

“A good poet” is someone who can make a verse interesting.
“A master” is someone whose verse does not sound interesting but has a flavor deep inside.
A still higher stage is when a poet has reached the utmost of the art and his poem presents neither color nor fragrance.
Only at that stage can one be credited as having achieved the quintessence of haikai.

(Uejima Onitsura)

night train the briefly lit lives of others   ( Naviarhaiku 295 )

(I met the authour of the above Haiku, Mark Gilfillan at the Naviar Haiku Festival in London last year when I performed. This weeks haiku jumped out to me and I had an idea straight away of how to transfer the words to sound - a looping train sound and the flicker of sounds - like briefly lit lives - cutting across the track.)  

night train
the briefly lit lives
of others

A friend of Naviar and regular contributor of haiku for its challenges, Mark Gilfillan just published his latest haiku collection: A Portable Universe, printed by Alba Publishing.

Mark was one of the panelists at our latest Naviar Haiku Fest in London last October. He’s a member of the British Haiku Society and has been writing haiku and senryu for around seven years, His first collection Ghost Moon received positive reviews from esteemed American haiku Journal Frog Pond and the British Haiku Society’s Blithe Spirit.

Evening Haze - When Memories Come (Naviarhaiku 296)

evening haze:
when memories come, how distant
are the by gone days

The author ofthe week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson’s most trusted disciples until the death of the great master, and was the de facto coordinator of Buson’s haikai group.
