Haibun Workshop: October Meeting of Bindii

The October meeting, led by Maeve Archibald, will concentrate on haibun, and will be the second instalment of her two haibun workshops.
Maeve distributed a writing exercise to members and the resultant haibun will be workshopped at the October meeting.
The meeting starts at 12.30 and finishes at 2.30 pm on Saturday 7 October.
Maeve's suggestions for composing a haibun are included in the minutes of our August meeting at this location: https://haiku-bindii.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/report-on-bindii-japanese-genre-poetry.html#more

April Challenge

In Australia in April we are deepening into autumn. In Adelaide it is still warm weather. The quinces are ripening on the trees, the shops full of the harvest of summer fruits. Autumn foliage is beginning to appear on the exotic European trees we have planted along our streets. Shops are filling with warm clothes for winter. The car race and the Fringe and Adelaide Festivals have finished bringing to an end the rush of Mad March. The blocked traffic is now flowing freely once more, interstate and international visitors have flown away. In Japan the cherry blossom season should have reached Kyoto. Challenge: customs of autumn or flowers of spring. Senryu, haiku, tanka. Please use your imagination.

July Challenge

As I post there have been no entries for the June Challenge. This is a sad state of affairs. Maybe it has been too cold and wet for haiku and tanka poets to get about, use their hearts and intellect. As I look out the window the weather seems in a state of uncertainty, waiting for something to occur: rain, wind, sun? Tanka challenge: change, uncertainty, the unexplicable. Interpret as widely as you wish. Haiku Challenge: warmth. Again interpret as widely as you wish. Seasonal or non seasonal are acceptable.
