Enjoyed going through the issue, so much of learning, thank you.


I have a question asking to gain more awareness of the structure with the utmost respect to the community 🙏🏼 I have been reading online about haiku.It has to be concrete and capture a moment.

But I see metaphors floating around here that are very well received. I mean, those visualisations are not there in the concrete but abstract. I am a novice in this art with limited knowing. Kindly advice.

Alka, When I came into haiku in 2005 - the abstract was a complete 'no no'. But things have changed now and it's all a matter of knowing how to work around them and with them! You'll get a hang of all this in due course. Just enjoy the journey and everything will fall into place.

I absolutely love this issue. My heartfelt thanks to @Kala Ramesh ma'am and the awesome editorial team for including my Haiku. I loved going through it. Will probably read it a few more times to absorb as much as possible.


@Vandana Parashar 's brilliant analysis of @Ron Russell 's ku opened up so many layers of the poem for me. It is a wonderful tutorial on how to read Haiku.
