My dearest friends, poets!
I tried to make the Frogpond: Journal of the Haiku Society of America interested in Sunku, but received an understandable reply that they are not interested in new forms.

I think to self-publish a collection of Sunku.
I have a lot of photographs I can provide as illustrations.
Is anybody interested to participate in this publication? We can place it on Amazon and direct any potential profits towards Neopoet.
I am looking for contributions as poems, photographs, editing, and commenting.

Everybody welcomed to participate!

The Poetry of Tea
Sometime around 30th century B.C. a few leaves found in boiling water started a tea tradition that for some symbolizes “the harmony and mysterious unity of the universe” (Lu Yu) and for others it is just a comfort drink. But it persists almost as long as we remember our history.
One of my favorite poems about tea is the Song of Tea written at the end of the first millennium by a Chinese poet Lu Tung.
Song of Tea

Recently in one of Neopoet forums we discussed a fissibility and rationale of creating a new poetic form, Sunku. We have talked about the structure of Sunku.
Poets here have created a number of astonishing examples as well as asked questions about what is beyond structure of Sunku.
Here are my thoughts on the matter.

I just finished reading Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. I absolutely love the book.
What she thinks about the nature of poetry composing process,
“Who knows anyway what it is, that wild, silky part of ourselves without which no poem can live?”

Her practical considerations about the craft, such as

“reliable rhythms can invite, or can dissuade. A meaningful rhythm will invite. A meaningless rhythm will dissuade.“
