ree separation poet vol 28 no 10 1987 ed krishna srinivas try best like a bird reaching to its nest a better living kavita india vol iii no 2 3 1990 ed a chittaranjan sahay dog is misspelled the child discovered the great original poem god first published in world poetry anthology 1992 ed krishna srinivas republished lynx haiku journal xxv 1 feb 2010 eds jane reichhold and werner reichhold during my undergraduate studies and ph d at iit ism dhanbad my english professor r k singh and my research advisor prof sudhir basumallick greatly inspired me in my academic pursuits i came across a published review article titled indian english haiku and r k singh by razni singh in the e zine got poetry i read the article and the graceful expression of three line poems by dr r k singh in sept 2009 i posted a four line poem pretending they speak of volume in reality it fills thin hopes of vacuum in poetbay the poets tai and shells suggested me to condense the poem into a three line in the form of haiku i was inspired by their comments and tried to know more about the haiku genre the acceptance emails from editor werner reichhold at lynx haiku journal and alice frampton from the heron s nest thrilled me during the formative stage of my haiku writing around the same time susumu takiguchi editor in chief published my haiku in the world haiku review in august 2009 some of the memorable moments i cherish include my initial publications of haiku in the mainichi daily a one liner monoku in the heron s nest as well as works in frogpond modern haiku presence and the red moon anthology additionally having my haiku displayed at the haiku wall exhibition at the historic liberty theatre gallery in bend oregon usa filled me with joy denis m garrison featured my haiku in the print journal ambrosia summer 2010 modern english tanka press usa which i consider a poem that showcases simplicity at its best rainy day mud escapes between toes fragrance fills the gap between the flowers the heron s nest vol xiii no 1 march 2011 thick clouds a gap takes me to the ocean modern haiku volume 46 2 summer 2015 a piece of chalk in my pocket first day of retirement frogpond 41 2 spring summer issue 2018 even the tiniest object of nature has its genuine worth in this world i feel it is the realisation of this truth and the zen moment that has offered the essence and genesis of haiku it enunciates a contemplation of spiritualism and the realization of being a part of nature the philosophy of haiku embodies this emotional relationship between human beings and the surrounding environment in its dynamic state the poet simply sows the seeds of the imagery allowing the readers to harvest its musicality and aesthetic values a haiku brings life to every object by creating a vivid image essentially the genre serves as a diligent medium of exploration of beauty of the wide spectrum of living and non living entities the tiny seed of haiku sprouts into a beautiful tree of wisdom the doctrine of haikuism will usher in a planet of nature s paradise and the abode of peace and brotherhood it invites you to explore nature the unity of creation and cosmic consciousness within its minimalistic poetic landscape in the late seventies and eighties i wrote many short poems consisting of three to six lines as well as longer versions of poetry looking back i feel that some of my earlier short poems in fact were tanka like as patches of cloud memory sails around when i wish to see those become tears in my eyes memory poet vol 27 no 12 1986 ed krishna srinivas though i was not aware of the genre dr hisashi nakamura president anglo japanese tanka society uk published some of my tanka in 2009 i painted throughout night my memories of grief and anguish remain as patches of white undertow tanka review 2014 j zimmerman reviewing my collection the rhyming rainbow comments ribbons vol 15 no 3 fall 2019 i am particularly charmed by pravat s delicate juxtapositions i painted contrasts night s darkness subtly with the patches of white that remain unpainted perhaps in the subconscious mind this influences my poetry bestowing life to the object through lyrical touch the collection i am a woman published in the uk in 2021 consists of fictional verses written in a five line tanka style it portrays the life of a woman highlighting her struggles related psycho social issues and her resilience she desires to revise the pristine manuscript for her daughter as she reckons with a crescent smile i am a woman to prove again excerpt from i am a woman p 56 neil somerville has been kind enough to review the collection i am a woman in blithe sprite vol 33 no 4 november 2024 the book is a celebration of womanhood here the tanka takes on a reflective quality she recalls jumping with joy hand in hand with her mummy clasping to catch the sky i am a woman is beautifully imagined it is a story of a life its complexities joys hopes sorrows and resilience would you elaborate on the new genres like hainka and braided haiku that you recently introduced i made a modest attempt to showcase experiments with the poetic spirit intertwining images with various genres through the art of link and shift to create a different poetic rhythm and resonance hainka is a poetic fusion of haiku and tanka hai ku ta nka and is characterised by image linking where the fragment of the haiku acts as the pivot line kakekatoba of the following tanka it is untitled the idea struck me in 2016 hainka can explore poetic interlinking objective picturisation with the subjective depiction of tanka thus embodying the beauty of nature and interweaving the wide thematic values of human expression pathos anguish emotion romanticism humour with the poetic elegance musicality and transcendental image this image linking across time and space is the art of painting an integrated poetic expression and exhibiting the fervent elucidation and elegance of hainka writing moreover it retains its focus on the beauty of genetic image linking to explore the poetic spell within the broader structural framework of japanese short form poetry this highlights the elegance of genetic image linking while delving into the poetic qualities of this unique form of literary expression i believe repetition of words or phrases augments the importance of the central rhythm and importance thus attracting the readers to search for the centre of essence in the poem it may be mentioned that repetition of words phrases and opening words anaphora has been often seen in sonnet writings even in

this blending of haiku and tanka creates a layered effect haiku for perception tanka for broadening the shared line becomes the hinge that links the outer and inner the moment and the meaning and hainka with its capacity to blend haiku with lyric or confessional elements can stretch the form toward the emotional textures of contemporary poetry he further adds unlike haiku tanka is more subjective and expressive its defining feature is the pivot or swing line between the two sections adding depth and movement this combination should use coherent images to portray the link and shift an absolute must is a symbiotic line that recurs verbatim in both the haiku and the tanka not simply as repetition for emphasis but in order to link perception and reflection hainka a spider web

sui water ka fire fu wind and ku void indian ancient philosophy advocates the cosmological concept of panch mahabhuta which includes the five great elements of matter earth prithvi water apas fire agni air vayu and ether akasha in haiku the seasonal words are often associated with sensory experiences namely i hearing ii touch iii sight iv taste and v smell i attempted to include the haiku about the five senses under the respective five elements for a broader classification the haiku collection based on this theme is currently in the finalization process also i am near completion of the haibun and tanka prose collection i am planning to publish the new hybrid genres like hainka braided haiku and micro haiga that i had introduced i would also like to include some selected poetry by other poets who enjoy attempting these new forms additionally some insightful essays related to haiku have been drafted for future publication i also compiled the selected free verse poems from 1976
