*HAY(NA)KU = INVITATION*

*You are cordially invited*

by Ivy Alvarez, John Bloomberg-Rissman, Ernesto Priego, and Eileen Tabios

to participate in

*THE CHAINED HAY(NA)KU PROJECT!*

As authors of single-author poetry hay(na)ku collections, we invite you to collaborate with others to create "chained hay(na)ku" -- a poem based on the hay(na)ku poetic form and created by multiple authors (at least three individual authors).

Information on the hay(na)ku are available at:
http://www.meritagepress.com/haynaku.htm
http://www.baymoon.com/~ariadne/form/haynaku.htm
http://haynakupoetry.blogspot.com/ .

For an example of the Chained Hay(na)ku, please visit the blog,
*THE CHAINED HAY(NA)KU PROJECT: AN INVITATION * at
http://chainedhaynaku.wordpress.com/

which features our collaborative poem, "Four Skin Confessions." The poem was written in May 2007 by email, spanning the time zones of London, Cardiff, and California.

We now invite other poets to collaborate with others in creating other chained hay(na)ku. Authors can then contribute their collaborations (including excerpts from such collaborations) for possible publication, which Meritage Press (www.meritagepress.com) will release as either a
journal, anthology, or hand-made limited edition (the final format will depend on the nature of and number of contributions).

Collaborations need not be only in verse form. Visual poetry is welcome, as long as the collaborators number at least three and realize that reproduction is likely to be in black-and-white.

Email Contributions (and queries) to MeritagePress@aol.com

*Deadline for Contributions:* January 31, 2008

Why not get together with others and chain together a hay(na)ku? It's a poetic form that has always been intended to be an Invitation!

All Best,

*Ivy Alvarez*, author of 1 DOZ. POISON HAY(NA)KU (Big Game Books, 2007)

*John Bloomberg-Rissman*, author of OTAGES (Bamboo Books, 2007) and NO SOUNDS OF MY OWN MAKING (Leafe Press, 2007)

*Ernesto Priego*, author of NOT EVEN DOGS (Meritage Press, 2006)

*Eileen Tabios*, author of THE SINGER AND OTHERS (Dusie, 2007)

ayuz di ba? o ano, patulan natin! sino game? hehe. marns, indi, kia? hehe.
go!

ako may naimbentong haynaku. ngayon lang. eto:

putangina
mamatay na
lahat ng diva.

a haynaku consists of 6 words lang, compared to the 3 lines and 5-6-5 syllables rule nga ba yun na rule ng japanese haiku? tama ba? tapos sa haynaku, 1-2-3 ang word distribution, per line. puwede ring reverse, 3-2-1, like this:

Hindi ka Diyos
kaya alis
diyan.

hahaha. nakakainizzzzzzzzz.

dami kasing diva dito sa kinalalagakan ko ngayon e. actually, sa lahat naman ng lugar e maraming diva akong nakakasalamuha. depende na lang sa degree of divaness nila kung kekerihin ko. minsan, keri ko, kasi pinapantayan ko ang ka-diva-han nila. golden rule lang naman yan eh:

"kung diva ka, mas divah akohhhhhh!"

devah?

iba-iba ang uri ng mga diva na yan. may diva na kunwari friend mo pero pagtalikod mo e niyuyurakan din niya ang dangal mo at ang dangal lang niya ang di niya yuyurakan ever. di ba c.a.?

may diva na friend mo talaga at talagang magdi-diva siya kapag may nang-diva sa iyo. so diva to diva fight ito, para ipagtanggol ka. frend! di ba bosing?

may diva na kapag kayong dalawa lang magkasama e chichikahin galore ka niya as if best friends forever ka niya. pero paglabas sa labas sa maraming tao at binati mo siya, aasta siyang di ka niya kilala o maalalang nakilala man lang. di ba b.s.?

may diva din na aastang lord of the chorvas siya saan mang departamento o lupalop siya mapunta, na kahit galit na sa kanya ang ibang kapwa divas e feeling niya mas mataas ang diva level niya sa rest of the diva populace kaya patuloy lang siya sa paghahasik ng lagim. di ba a.s.?

may diva din na gusto niya lagi siyang nagba-bask sa attention ng lahat, diva man o hindi, kahit unnecessary na talaga dahil ang dami na niyang na-achieve sa life. di ba n.g.?

hehehe.

o siya, more diva-ness next time. inuman muna kami ng co-diva ko hehehehe. chos.
