Hay(na)ku
The Hay(na)ku Verse Form, a 21st century poetry form.
History.
* Invented by poet Eileen Tabios, who is also publisher, Meritage Press.
* Officially inaugurated on the Web on June 12th, 2003 (Philippine Independence Day).
* The form spread through the Web to poets all over the world.
* Eileen Tabios initially called the form "the Pinoy Haiku". * Vince Gotera proposed the
name "hay(na)ku", and this name has stuck. This corresponds to a Tagalog phrase
that means roughly "Oh!" or (in Spanish) "Madre mía". * The last syllable is pronounced "ai"
(silent aitch, like Cockneys would say it).
Form.
In a traditional Hay(na)ku, there are:
* A tercet: 3 lines.
* A total of 6 words:
1 word in the first line,
2 words in the second line,
and 3 words in the third line.
