S8E38 Dancing with Words: Tango, Spring and Fair Play

Poetry Pea - haiku and other English Language Japanese short forms

✨ Welcome to the Poetry Pea Podcast ✨

In this episode, we share beautiful haiku and senryū from our community, inspired by the video prompts. You’ll hear poetry chosen by editor Amy Watson from the August prompt, and we’ll look ahead to September’s beach-themed prompt curated by Neena Singh.

Alongside the poetry, I raise an important question about fairness in haiku competitions — something for us all to consider as members of the short form poetry community. And, to end, we return to more poems from you, our listeners, to bring us back to calm reflection.
