You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.

The poems of today were 4 years old. I revisited them with joy, I didn't submit them. They were created by cutting out phrases and words from novels. I like how they reflect what I feel. I've chosen them like I choose words in my mind to write. (Never let anybody tell you that's less than writing.)

to be write one then two --Shinko Tokizane 生きるべし一の次には二を書いて　時実新子 Note: The Shakespeare is 生きるべきか死ぬべきか (To be, or not to be), but more literally translated reads "Should I live or should I die"; line 1 could be translated "(I/you/we) should live"; I opted for Shakespeare #senryu #translation

Shinko TOKIZANE, I think; was largely successful with #senryu because she did two things. She was previously a #tanka poet. So she naturally brought the expansiveness and freedom of emotion, self, and content into #senryu. And I think she tapped into the fullness of Haikai as a genre.

Hello! I’m still here! I just love how little I need social media or sharing posts these days. I cook some lentil soup instead. Or I read. Knit. Have a chat. In case you ever need to hear this: it’s ok. We don’t need the world to know us in order to exist or to be valuable. You're valuable, my dear.

🧵 Writing Gendai Senryu in English? Gendai (modern) Senryu isn’t just "haiku without nature." It’s a distinct art form focused on human nature, irony, and the raw edges of daily life. No 5-7-5 required. No seasonal words needed. Just truth, brevity, and a twist.

In other words, writing only in German doesn’t necessarily mean that a German writer has no interest in other cultures. And yet, I can’t help but feel that there is a certain limitation to writing in only one language. What is behind that choice? Tawada Yoko: Exophony
