VINCE GOTERA'S "HAY(NA)KU SONNET"!

Vince Gotera, who'd helped coin the name "hay(na)ku" has invented another variation of the basic tercet form:  the HAY(NA)KU SONNET!   This form is created through four hay(na)ku tercets  plus an ending couplet with three words per line. The closing couplet is actually a hay(na)ku where the one-word line and the two-word line have been concatenated in order to end up with 14 lines. Vince dates his invention to be 14 April 2012, which is when he posted the first hay(na)ku sonnet on his blog, The Man With the Blue Guitar:

Preparing for Doomsday 2012 

                    a hay(na)ku sonnet 

Gorge

on Raisinets,

Gummi Bears, Snickers!

Watch

every freaking

show on Netflix.

Corvette.

Fugu sashimi.

Carnival Cruise Lines.

Climb

Sears Tower . . .

BASE jump blindfolded.

Fulfill bucket list.

Then kiss your—

Here are two more examples of this form which first appeared on his blog; “9/11     +12” also was reprinted in The DailyPalette, University of Iowa, 30 December 2013:

9/11        +12

                    a hay(na)ku sonnet 

Wingless

sparrows fell

from ashen skies.

Ghosts

loomed from

fog of ash.

Twelve years later,

still entangled:

Afghanistan.

Bin Laden dead.

Hourglass sand

slipping

us downslope: ash

inferno downfall empire.

Dragon Solves the Problem:

How Tiger and He Can Love

                    a hay(na)ku sonnet 

Draco,

water emperor,

I can become

anything

liquid. Shapeshifted—

yes—Aqua Tigris,

hefty

like ice

yet soft, silky.

Rainbow

striped, fleshed.

In me, dazzling

Lady Tiger swims.

Lingering, wild nights.

Note: this sonnet is a sequel to the 2012 hay(na)ku poem below, also published in his blog on 14 April 2013.

The Tale of Everyone 

  

Dragon

and Tiger

love each other

like

dawn Sun

and harvest Moon,

Sword

and Flower,

Rain and Flame.

Forever

chasing, never

touching. Each other’s

orbit

clockwork machined

by distant gods.

They

sit in

their glass globe

heavens,

the bridge

between them nothing

but

empty space,

indigo and orange

motes

of dust

floating in between.

Thanks for sharing, Vince!
