(With a layered movement and a conceptual #kireji I hope)
now Onishi Yasuyo-san is unique just like her teacher, Tokizane Shinko-san, in that when you read their #senryu; many of them use #kigo (natural/seasonal references, and #kireji (cuts)) but each poet is adamant that they are NOT #haiku but #senryu. For this cause, both Onishi and Tokizane have...
...the old rules that governed the verse form when it was still called #hokku and apart of the #renga. He didn't completely divorce the 'new' standalone ku (verse) from what had become over the centuries, calcified rules that the ku MUST have #kigo (seasonal keywords etc), #kireji (cut or cuts)...
sometimes has poets that do not use #kigo (seasonal expressions of any kind,) or some that do not write their #ku in the 5-7-5/17 sound units pattern (hence the name, 'free rhythm' haiku) and some poets that do not use #kireji, while some do away with all three tools, learning their poems...
on the part of the reader. the poet was inviting the reader to find themselves in the poem and 'complete it.' so #hokku had to include some seasonality, use #kireji (the cut), AND since its a fixed-form poetry; it needed to be composed in the sound pattern of 5-7-5, which was mistakenly taught to be
...between both portions of the ku (verse)
ex:
frozen rain...
depressed sizzle
of the pancakes
the two parts of the ku, are the 'frozen rain...' and 'the sizzle of pancakes.' the pause between the first line and the start of the second is the #kireji, the pause that 'slices' the ku into two
...to parallel them. (according to Professor Harold Henderson). As time passes, the 'rule' of using a #kigo (seasonal expression, keyword), the use of #kireji (cutting--that is splitting the poem into two parts in some way that would allow the reader to enter into the poem and provide the link...)
