I have a good explanation from a Spanish haiku poet, and it helped me a lot to understand how this works. But it is in Spanish. Yet, I am going to sha...

I agree with you Amity. My intention was not to say that the story is "regular" or low, it is otherwise. Yet, "it is not my cup of tea", and this is m...

It is true that haiku always had metric rules. Yet, the modern Japanese authors and experts on haiku are agreed on the fact that those rules are not s...

Mu-kigo is a haiku, but without a connection with the seasons. This class of haiku just represents a moment of ordinary or the amazement of a dialogue...

The haibun is composed in two important parts in a same short story: narrative + a haiku in the ending. Most of the Haibun are used to give a "context...

Well said, friend! :up:

Thanks, Clarky. I really like this activity that only has place one time every six months. I am just trying to give my best. It is an opportunity to k...

You are right. I leave it there. :up:

Jamal switched to the original posts order because Jack Cummins and you made a big drama yesterday…

That pic made me have nightmares, but the one of "Sempre" is even worse! :death:

Good point! :up:

I think you just posted some arguments to claim that you don't want to be responsible with yourself either the State you live in.

And the haikus must be in Japanese the next time as well! :wink:

Thanks! :up: :party:

@"Baden" @"Amity" @"Noble Dust" @"Jamal" et al. Interesting proposal. I think it would be fine if the stories and poems were locked in their position ...

Why didn't you submit a poem or haiku, Clarky? Or... Did you actually do so and we are not aware yet? :eyes:

I agree! But I think @"Amity" is doing a good job anyway, and she is trying to comment in each entry.

I see that the poems are getting cold... Unlike short stories, they are no longer receiving comments. I hate to be the inquisitor, but if you do not l...

Ok! I went off the topic. I am sorry, folks :smile:

I was not focusing on the Dutch! :rofl: Yes, in houses and apartments is more common to see the Spanish flag. Nevertheless, in the public buildings th...

Nah! Never mind! Just another weird fact from Spain! We are divided by seventeen autonomous regions and we are more attached to them than the country ...

I agree, it is another connection. Yet the motto “Vive La Revolution!” comes unmistakably from France.

I know but the author wrote in the foot page (at the ending): Vive La Revolution! This is why I thought that the author was thinking in France. I do n...

For example: I never try fantastic plots or connections between different characters. I feel more confident when I write narratives in first person of...

It is true that the title and the deodorant reference are weird. Yet the psychology and complex relationships of the characters in this story are quit...

I would sound weird, but I tend to love twisted plots or stories. I liked this one in particular because the author is intelligent enough to put a lot...

Words and rules: The ingredients of language. By Steven Pinker.

If you do not comment, you don't get paid! :razz: Literary labour slavery!

Exactly. I meant that this story seemed to be "long" for just me, because I am not a native-speaker and it is a tough task to read such long paragraph...

Interesting. :up:

Maybe you all think that at least one haiku poem is mine because I am always obsessed with Japanese stuff. It is comprehensible. Yet the interesting f...

Do you think this image can also fit in this Ode to the Sun? :sparkle: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/05/43/99/0543990f4518fdeebddc85defe5dbb86.jpg

After reading this poem again, I must repit what I posted yesterday: it is a magnificent haiku because it is "mu-kigo." Don't expect a big "understand...

I agree, but I consider it "long" regarding when a non-native speaker like me has to read it. This is why I said I gave my best reading the stories an...

Put the bar higher than anyone. I hadn't expected less than you! :cool:

I like your commitment when you comment in both the stories and poems, but I think you are taking the voting system quite personal. At the end, this i...

I appreciate your words, Amity. :wink:

It is a bit complex to comment on a haiku. It is just a poem of three verses that says a lot (or the basic if it is sophisticated). I was in a haiku a...

No! Your interpretation is not “off.” Everyone has his own freedom to interpret a poem or short story. Maybe I was off in some of my comments too :smi...

@"Benkei" is trying to tell us something through the images he posted in the poems! :eyes: Kudos to the people that can connect words/paragraphs/poems...

Why do you consider religion as a bad invention?

It reminds me of Hanover too :lol:

Thanks for your kindness, Amity. :flower: I agree it could be too late. Yet, what I thought in some poems and stories is that they hold a lot complexi...

I gave my best commenting on the short stories. To be honest, I personally think that all of them are high quality and it was a pleasure to read them ...

:up:

Well, I leave this one until the end because I must admit that it was too complex for me to read it. I do not know how to explain with words, but I fe...

Magnificent! :clap: The story and the plot are interesting. To be honest, I am used to apart from everything related to AI, but I must admit that this...

It is OK. The story is very twisted because of the characters and its density and it becomes entertaining in the end, maybe the last five paragraphs. ...

I really enjoyed this one. Well written, the characters are likable and the plot is interesting. Congrats to the author I guess this story will get po...

Oh! A zombie apocalyptic story! Interesting and original indeed. It is a bit long, but I appreciate the spaces and how the paragraphs are separated. I...
