To those who have just started note, and those who have started but are not doing well. An invitation to the Izayoi Cup.

You've started note, but you have no idea what to write or where to begin...

I'm posting, but
my views aren't growing as I'd hoped,
and I'm not getting any likes or comments...



I hear you, I really do.


For you,
I have a great project.

When you participate in projects like this, the organizers will definitely come to read your work.

People participating in the project will also come to read it.

And what's more!

No matter what kind of work it is, they will give it a like,
and leave wonderful comments.


They might even look through your other posts besides the project entry.



Participate in the project.
↓
Views increase.
↓
Post the appeal post you really wanted to make with all your might there.
↓
The number of people who come to read your work consistently increases.


You can create a delicious flow.


From here on, it's up to your own skill, though.


For now, with a large project,
if it's something easy to get into,
get involved!


This is important.

I've never done haiku, tanka, or senryu, and I don't get it!

There is a wonderful maxim from the early days of the internet.

Google it, you idiot!

In the world of note, there are also many articles where kind teachers and seniors teach beginners how to create them.

I participated a little bit two times ago,
and since the last time I've been participating in earnest, I'm finally at the level of an amateur who has just started studying and has grown a couple of hairs.
Also, there's only about a week left until the deadline, and I think there are some people who find it tedious to read long texts of more than 10 lines.


I don't want the seniors who are working on this seriously to read from here on out, haha.

It's fine!

Just do it casually! Haha

Nice to meet you,

I made it for the first time!



And since it's autumn, I tried it, or

you can use tags, right?


Of course, you can also use the Izayoi Cup tag, so there are people who will automatically come to read it.

If you separate them into haiku, tanka, and senryu,
you can definitely make
three posts.

It's all benefits, right?

There are various
serious rules,
but this project,
is also for beginners with the hurdles set low, so

I made it for now!

Something half-baked is enough! Haha


There is a judging process and awards, but there's no way you can beat people who are working hard on haiku and tanka every single day, right?

Don't worry about that stuff,
just participate!

There's a participation prize!


Whether you've just started note or you're always doing it in a different genre,
let's just put it out there and get your name remembered.

The strategy is to get them to read your other posts from there.

You might find friends you get along with,
and you might find that it was fun when you tried it!
If it was boring, you can write another article about how it was boring, right? Haha




You don't have to think about how to continue note! HahaIsn't that the best? Haha

The introduction has become long, but


from here, I, Mitei-ojisan, who has finally started reading an introductory book,
will teach you how to make super simple haiku.

How to make simple haiku taught by a complete amateur to a complete amateur! Haha

TL;DR!

I feel like that's what people will say, so I'll teach you briefly lol

1.
17 characters in a 5-7-5 structure.

2.
Include a seasonal word.
They call it a kigo.

That's it! lol

Don't worry about
the fine details!

Even if you worry about them,
what you can't do, you can't do.


Since this time it's about autumn-like haiku, you should just google autumn kigo.

Just pick one you like!

That's also a hassle!

If you say that,

autumnjust put that character in! lol

Or, since this project is called the Izayoi Cup, you could just include the name of the moonIzayoilol


Autumn sky, autumn sea, autumn night, try a little harder with autumn colors, autumn sounds,

Of Izayoi, in Izayoi, anything is fine.

This will get you five characters.

Haiku needs things like 'kana', 'keri', or 'ya', right?

You have to write it in the kind of language you learn in classical literature, right?

I don't get it!!

I hear voices saying that...

Don't need it! Don't need it!

I don't know! lol

Feed that kind of stuff to the stray dogs around here!

You can deal with that stuff later if you get obsessed with haiku.


What's important now is to make something that looks like a haiku! lol

Participating in the project! lol

That's all!

Once you've decided on an autumn word,
write about whatever you like with the remaining characters.


Since five characters are basically decided, you have twelve left.

Either 7-5 or 5-7.

Things that happened today, things you've been thinking about lately, and so on.

The rule is that you don't even need a seasonal word,

Matching the 5-7-5 character count is difficult

This is fine! Haha


If you come up with something that feels like a senryu, just submit it there.


If you want a few more characters, just add 7-7 and make it a tanka.

Today
I didn't do anything,
so I can't think of anything!

That's fine.

Watching the second hand for so long, an autumn night

Staring at the room wall for so long, an autumn night

Three days without talking to anyone, an autumn breeze

Isn't the character count too high?

It's fine!

In the world of haiku, there are convenient things called extra or missing syllables, haha.


Don't worry about it.

Since you're an amateur, you can just be fully amateur.


That's actually more refreshing and stands out! Haha



My stomach has been hurting since this morning.

Back and forth between room and toilet, autumn colors

Running to the toilet as if I'm about to leak, an autumn breeze

I'm a NEET.

On the sixteenth night, a blank employment history

Smoking a cigarette on the balcony on the sixteenth night

My hair has been getting thin lately...

No bangs left to style, an autumn breeze

Worried about my hairline, an autumn breeze

Dinner is tonkatsu!

Crispy tonkatsu breading, the sound of autumn

This is fine, haha.

I want something more authentic!

If you start feeling that way,

you can think about it or try harder then.

Conversely, there are amazing haikus that only beginners who don't know haiku can write.
Phrases that would never come out if you were seriously into haiku.

If you're someone who thinks, 'I'm confident in other forms of creation, though,' then this is for you!

The form of creation doesn't matter.

Find one you like,
and from what you're inspired by,
it's just a simple job
of creating something original!

Haiku de Pon

● Create one work based on multiple (two or more) works from the Izayoi Cup entries.
List of Izayoi Cup haiku entries

● Include a link to the cited works.

● Add the tag #HaikuDePon

(If you add this article, I might be less likely to miss reading it!!
Or if you write it in the comments, please provide a link and I will go read it :))

● Any form of creation is allowed.
Novels, shorts, manga, poetry, art, songs... etc.


● I will go read them, but... there are no particular prizes (my apologies) lol.
I will consider the pure enjoyment and the wonderful act of weaving threads together as the reward.

Since anything goes,
you should just submit in your own specialty genre.

How about it?

Don't you feel like you might be able to do something?

If you think,

"I might be able to do something!"
then that's fine.

Just go for it, go for it!

The note Literature Club
is full of mischievous seniors, but they are kind to newcomers, lol.

You can manage something in a week, right?


Let's try!

Participate.

And

connect.

That is

what the Everyone's Haiku Tournament is all about.

The end.

Sorry, there are some parts that didn't copy and paste well.

I gave up on it, though.
