Joshua Gage, haiku guru, came along and gave Poetry Pea a masterclass in Toriawase and how to use it to write your haiku. In fact I think you could use it in any writing practice. We then asked you to write some haiku and senryu using the prompts he suggested in the workshop.
I was chatting to some of the editing team a little while ago and they mentioned that the submissions for Toriawase were really accomplished, so thank you to Joshua for supplementing our knowledge and to all you poets who sent us poems as a result of his prompts. Today, I’m going to read a selection of them to you…
Don't forget there will be more in the Poetry Pea Journal 2:24. Make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to find out when it's published. You don't want to miss it.
