Sound of a gong
in the silent night
Oasis, he is
Seasons have come and passed
Plants bear no leaves or flowers
Change is handicapped
You also have a flame within you
You traded the flame to survive
Now you are dark as night

Modern Haiku : Concept and Future Directives
Recently a workshop related to Modern Haiku in Nepal was organized by the Haiku Foundation. In this workshop, the founder and leading modern poet Dr. Ananda Joshi presented a paper on the concept and future direction of Modern Haiku entitled “ Modern Haiku : Concept, Status and Future Directive Policies”. In the presentation, he gave a new concept integrating three interrelated and interdependent components: Life, Environment (surrounding features), and Development (Fig. 1). Modern haiku‘s dimension and coverage have already changed. At present, modern life and issues are quite different and complex and a lot of new issues and challenges are emerging in the ecological systems, surroundings, and life supporting mechanisms. The people of today, their habitat’s status, their work and other activities influence the topics and contents of modern haiku.
Modern haiku poets need to consider not only nature, but other components such as physical, biological, social, economic and cultural aspects. Therefore, this is the only way to express the carrying capacity of resources, needs of people, as well as present and future development. He has also given some examples of modern Nepalbhasa haikus. The workshop was participated by haiku poets, poets, writers, journalists and critics. His concept was new not only to Nepal but to the other countries as well. The participants accepted this concept and expressed their views to implement this modern concept.
This paper has been published in the haiku magazine “Newa Haiku, Vol 8 & 9, 2013” and in the book, named “Today’s Poetry: Living Footsteps”, written by Dr. Ananda Joshi
