Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
A few days ago I did a proposal to create a Messenger (FB) group. I thought it was a great idea, but after following the responses I will not start this Messenger group, but I love to ask you (if you are part of CDHK) to use our FB-page Chèvrefeuille's Carpe Diem more often. It is possible to share your haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form for consideration and improving at our FB-page.
On our homepage you can find the link to our FB-page at the right side or follow this link to our FB-book page.
You're invited to share your poetry there to talk about. Maybe that will also have a positive energy on our bonding at CDHK.
Of course you can share your poetry also through Messenger (if we are FB-friends you can be in touch with me) with your questions for improvement.
Have a great Sunday,
Chèvrefeuille, your host.
I this k if you really believe in the Messenger idea you should go for it. Not sure how it works exactly. FB page sounds fun for discussion.
ReplyDeleteI think a Messenger group would work, but than there is the time issue again. We are a warmhearted family of haiku poets from all over the globe ... so it isn't possible to reach everyone. The idea behind the Messenger group was to initiate a "chat"-session to discuss haiku, but ... I don't know if it will work out. So I keep this Messenger idea in consideration and will not start with it right now.
DeleteOf course it is possible to contact me through Messenger if you have questions about haiku ...
I've seen many of the haijin now write almost exclusively on FB - that might certainly be an easier way to bond. A very nice idea. Thank you for the invitation. Bastet
ReplyDeleteGravitating towards fb is very risky. Many people, haijin or not, eat at Mc Donald's but does not mean one should.joining the crowd at fb means cdhk will be lost in it, snd the unique quality of cdhk will be diluted.
ReplyDeleteThe temptation to put the haiku only on fb will increase for some.
Fb is full of rubbish. I think the fb page is great for discussion and marketing.
The intention of the FB page is to discuss haiku to improve them, it's certainly not my idea to bring CDHK completely to FB, because our Haiku Kai is to precious to me and for you.
DeleteI see FB more like a classroom to discuss haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry forms.
And you are right the FB page is great for discussion and marketing.
There are different types of Facebook pages. There are Facebook pages that are a public group. The posts to theses pages can be read by anyone. If a poet is considering submitting a haiku to a journal, that poet should be aware that some journals consider haiku posted to this type of page as being published. There are also Facebook pages that are private pages and belong to a closed group. The posts to a page belonging to a private group can only be read by the members of the group. Haiku posted to these pages are usually considered unpublished by journals. Valentina Ranaldi-Adams
ReplyDeleteOur FB page is an open source and I think it's only a way to share haiku (without the intention to be published once) and discuss the haiku for improvement. The improved haiku can be used for publishing.
Deletea messenger group should be interesting
ReplyDeletemuch love...
I suggest that the Facebook page be a 'closed' group so that one has to request to join. Keeping it 'public' doesn't sound right to me.
