Soundtrack: Chopin Prelude in D-flat major
At work, we are asked to write daily emails (日報) summing up our thoughts for the day. I often times express mine in Haiku form, my first entry was just an observation:
働いているキーボードは降ってる雨のように鳴いている
or
"Busy keyboards sound like falling rain"
This created a riotus uproar demanding that my following entries be submitted in poetic form. Naturally, Haiku was the medium of choice. If it was in English, it would be a sonnet. French some sort of Rondeau and German, an instructive but gruesome fable.
I was thus reminded that Haiku's typically require a seasonal reference, making an already difficult form of poetry even more challenging. I decided to supplement the Haikus with Senryus, a comical form a poetry that has looser form and content expectations.
I will be sharing some of these Haiku and Senryu on Konjoe.
