Baiku

[P20]

Yesterday.
Late lie in. Wake to blue skies. Thrunton springs to mind. Quick breakfast. Pack the car. Brilliant clear sky. Fettle helmetcam in carpark. A few dog walkers, but otherwise Thruntons mine :twisted: Tracks are a little soft/greasy in places. Too much speed-dumped onto floor. Try a new track. Its not complete. Spend 20 minutes finding way out. Swearing at trees. Climb to Coe Crag, heavy legs from last nights Badminton. Stunning views. Snow on Cheviot. Unbelievably slippy across the top. Fantastic descent. Worth the climb. Deer wandering around, then disappearing. How do they do that? Back at car, happy and content

A Baiku is a retrobike derivation of the Japanese poatry form called Haiku, rather than a fixed form a Baiku can be anything you want

it appears to become truly fluent in the Baiku, you need to study for a number of years under the Baiku Guru Mr Wu.

and a quote from Wiki, on the New American Haiku

While traditional hokku/haiku focused on nature and the place of humans in nature, modern haiku poets often consider any subject matter suitable, whether related to nature, an urban setting, or even a technological context. While old hokku avoided some topics such as romance, sex, and overt violence, contemporary haiku often deal specifically with such themes.

Traditional hokku/haiku required a long period of learning and maturing, but contemporary haiku is often (and mistakenly) regarded as an "instant" form of brief verse that can be written by anyone, from schoolchildren to professionals. Many writers of modern haiku stay faithful to the standards of old hokuu, however some other contemporary haiku poets have dropped such standards, emphasizing personal freedom and pursuing ongoing exploration in both form and subject matter.

Due to the various views and practices today, it is impossible to single out any current style or format or subject matter as definitive "haiku." Nonetheless, some of the more common practices in English are:

Use of three (or fewer) lines of about 17 or fewer syllables
Use of a season word (kigo)
Use of a cut or caesura (sometimes indicated by a punctuation mark) to contrast and compare, implicitly, two events, images, or situations
This gradual loosening of traditional standards, encouraged by such poet-critics as Bob Grumman,[7] has resulted in the word "haiku" being applied to brief, mathematical "poems," ("mathemaku") and to visual poetry by Scott Helms. This attempt at stretching definitions of haiku can be considered excessive, but Grumman attempts to defend his position by pointing to an alleged blurring of definitional boundaries in Japan. Those cognizant of Japanese and the haiku scene in Japan dispute this claim.

In the early 21st century, there is a thriving community of haiku poets worldwide, mainly communicating through national societies and journals in in Japan, English-speaking countries, in Northern Europe (mainly Sweden, Germany, France, and The Netherlands), in the Balkans (mainly Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania), and in Russia.

Sorry to pick just a bit and put it out of context but loving the above sentence.

Great photo and stunning sounding ride by the way, inspiring for a weekday desk jockey

I've been riding there for 12yrs. I love the place. Some how forgot to put the jets into the baiku, another advantage of the midweek ride. There have to be some perks to working the weekend

Baiku - It's like Haiku, but without the rules. (and about bikes)

Loving the view, certainly makes my local loop look a little (ahem) flat!
