Happy-Children's-Day

November 14: The Happy-Children's-Day!

I wrote a small poem on this 'Day'. But I forgot to publish it on that day.

My concept of celebrating days is living-them each day. In other words celebrate a bit of the so-called 'day' on possible moments of each day as it progresses.

I don't believe in breathing only on a 'Breathing-Day'.

Why should you be a happy-child and child-like only on a Happy-Children's-Day?

Actually there is a child inside every one of us that manifests in the form of a child-like behavior but at wrong time. And there is a reason to it.

The reason is the parental-attitude in the language of Behavioral-Modulation-Technique (BMT) or Transactional-Analysis (TA).

It's the adult-attitude that can bring out the child inside us at the right time in the interest of all.

A short poem that I wrote to express this is actually a combination of two Maiku's.

Maiku-1

Actually the Child inside us never dies
Every now-n-then it fights, teases-n-cries
Happily throws tantrums and then sighs

Maiku-2

Its the Parent inside us when nighs
That the child inside us vies
But not always...find out when dear guys

MaiKu Is My-Haiku

Haiku, the smallest poetry form in the world, is a Japanese form of poetry. It means the "beginning" without any end.

Hence it is also called as "unfinished" poetry that is left to the reader to finish based on his or her own understanding, feelings or emotions in reaction to the imagery or the dream that it creates. In that sense, it involves the reader to create his own extraordinary-experience-from-the-ordinary.

I am not even worth the salt in light of the subject of Haiku. But still the self-proclaimed experimental-unreasonable me dared to create a version of Haiku called Maiku© with some inherent advantages that I thought of. I found it very useful for my own self.

Here is a MaiKu on the original Haiku itself.

Haiku: An IQ¹-picture painted 

With suggestions in few words, well-laid  

Create thy meaning beautifully heeded

The second one captures Maiku's essence as brought out here-under while comparing it with the characteristics of a typical Haiku that the first one captures.

Differences between MaiKu and Haiku

While one may find a lot of literature on Haiku, here's how a Maiku differentiates itself from a HaiKu.

Haiku is usually communicated in a single breath.
MaiKu may be broken preferably in not more than 3 logical pieces in order to communicate it's construction.

Haiku is 5+7+5 sounds or syllables.
MaiKu is an interrelation of (preferably) not more than 3 small rhyming-phrases without restriction on words though. 

In order to provide for the continuity of the dream or story the author may have in her mind, she may write a number of Maiku's in sequence. But at the same time each one should be capable of being standalone to catch a couple of breaths of.

Haiku recommends imagery. 

MaiKu prefers to have an image or sketch of its source of inspiration.

Unlike Haiku, MaiKu may be used to quickly freeze a topic of interest, complex or simple, particularly when a poet or even a writer is hard-pressed for time to express her thoughts elaborately.

Relevant subject can be expanded and developed as an article later on when time permits. In fact, MaiKu is a smaller poem or a micro/tiny tale that may potentially contain a larger poetry or a larger story that can be subsequently expanded. In that case the phrases in Maiku may necessarily contain key words freely flowing (like the freaking trouser legs in picture) on the subject under consideration.

In fact, this blogpost itself is the sequel to the Haikus that I wrote here.

Call it a MaiKu or a Haiku but do write it. 

It's very useful to express oneself and gain audience that is busy enough to consume anything more than a few Tweets.

So interesting it is that it instantly generates pleasure and happiness while writing it. 

It helps you to stay positive by engaging you in subtleties of each moment. It doesn't give crying people an opportunity to cry if they fall for it. 

It also might relieve you off fear or tension if the situation is dissected looking for positives in it and then expressed in lighter vein in the form of a MaiKu or Haiku. I just freak out the word 'tension' for instance by a Maiku: 

Shun the tension! 

Look at the free-flowing oxygen,

Exchange greetings at muscle's junctions!!

Bird that just chirped

Bird on toilet window, just chirped

A blissful meditative moment creeped

Didn't allow it to get slipped
