Neither Liv nor I write with much attention to form or structure or
rhyme. our writing is a manifestation of our fervent and frenzied minds,
our ebullient vessels, our entrenched cacophony, disorder and delight.
which means our writing is an unyielding, unadulterated deluge of florid verbosity.
As much as we delight in this, as much as we strive to let our
writing be free and rambunctious, a real part of us, in the pursuit of
candid and raw writing….
we thought it could be fun to try and manifest this dynamic,
colourful farrago into a form. with rules and requirements and
restrictions. And see how we respond.
We decided to start with a form completely foreign to us both - haiku
- but leave the theme free. For the next feast we will pick a theme and
leave the form free, and continue to alternate in this way.
We both seek to expand our ambit of inspiration, perception and
expression. We want to infuse our writing with new-ness. so using a
prescribed form for the first time was a completely new experience.
Especially one that is so different and so restrictive, like haiku.
It’s been such a positive and dynamic experience, I can’t wait to
document my research, my thoughts, my response and some of my writing
