Gembun
Special thanks again to my haiku dream journal for publishing a gembun on mine which is a very short haibun. It’s always an honor to be amongst very distinguished haijins in this genre of poetry that’s forward moving at Bones.

Sequence Parallel Hypnosis Haiku
I’m very honored once again to be in a dream journal that promotes the evolution of haiku in the 21st century and that publication is Bones. People are probably going to cringe how I titled my haiku but think of it as experimental. So what is a “Sequence Parallel Hypnosis Haiku”? First, I should have explained what a sequence parallel haiku is which I haven’t on my previous posts.
A sequence parallel haiku is two parallel haiku put together side by side and by doing so it opens what Clayton Beach calls a ‘Matrix’ of possibilities on how it can be read either vertically, horizontally, in a zigzag and diagonally where a monoku can exist in the latter three ways of reading the sequence or the entire sequence can read as single poem itself.
A sequence parallel hypnosis haiku and it’s creation was inspired by the poems of Johannes S.H. Bjerg. (The creator of the parallel haiku as a form that Hansha Teki took to great heights and both poets have been a great inspiration for my work) who wrote what I called ‘hypnosis ku’ example:
Johannes S.H. Bjerg 3.2.2020
The beauty of this style of poetry is the repetition of images where random different images often appear and as Johannes said it’s “where the subconscious becomes conscious. it’s an honest “area” i.e. w/o the censorship of our “intellectual” mind.” To me to reach this state one would have to be in a meditative one or under hypnosis but in this case it’s through reading words.
After a few attempts on writing this style of poetry, the sequence parallel hypnosis haiku was born. Special thanks to Johannes for the inspiration and publishing this experimental poem but the question to ask, is it a haiku? In a traditional sense most likely not where, kigo, juxtaposed images, brevity and other techniques are standard. Is it a contemporary haiku? I believe it to be so.
