Hi, Every poetry writer will I'm sure have written the odd one or maybe had a phase of writing them at one time but how many writers here write them on a regular basis (and not just as part of the Haiku chain)? I ask as I have found something I like about the act of writing them - to me, there are more than a few nice things to appreciate them for. TBH I do value a 20, 30, 40, 50, etc line poem more if I've managed to write one but over the last 2-3 months I've been trying to write at least one a day - invariably the last thing I do at night before turning in - it keeps up the act of daily writing and I chose to work within the often used Western Haiku constraints (5-7-5) and working within restraints is, as is so often the case, a not too insurmountable and a provocation to creativity so overall I find it a helpful challenge - re-wording, re-phrasing, re-focussing, re-factoring, etc. What I find enjoyable is the challenge of writing - it's hard enough at the best of times but doing a bit of haiku writing is helping me to get back to enjoying the challenge of writing - I remember reading somewhere that if you want to write you really ought to love it (or learn to) and not complain about it being difficult.
