41 min - S7E40 A blast from the Past at Poetry Pea
It’s our birthday.
Can you believe that Poetry Pea is going into our 8th year?
Seven full years and have things changed here at Pea Towers? Well some things have changed, I’m older, but more healthy so bad news and good news there.
I was curious as to how the podcast had changed, I barely remember the early days (post-menopausal brain and the recent bump to the head probably). So today I'm going to revisit a couple of podcasts from the early days.
How do you think things have changed?
Can you help with my dreadful poem?

14 min - S7E39 Poetry by the Sea
Did you enjoy last week’s haiku from Dejan Pavlinović? If you’ve not heard it, go back and have a listen, he’s a lovely bloke and quite a poet too. This week on the Poetry PeaCast we have more haiku, but this time original poetry from a number of poets, from all around the globe. We’re hearing the poetry written for August’s video prompt. A lovely video from Arvinder Kaur which took us to the seaside.

9 min - S7E38 Poetry Reading with Croatian Poet Dejan Pavlinovic
I believe I have a treat for you today. We’re off to Croatia, yes, in the summer when the weather is beautiful and we’re going to meet with Dejan Pavlinović one of Croatia’s pre eminent haiku poets. He’s going to read from a couple of his solo works, one of which has just launched, yes, you are one of the first people to hear this work, Life Lines.

48 min - S7E37 Tanka Poetry - The Reforms
Last time I outlined the development of waka, prior to the late 1800s and gave you some idea as to why waka was becoming a disappointing art. I left you with the promise that this time you were going to hear what happened to waka during the initial tanka reforms and thereafter.
So that’s what I have for you today. Tanka reforms, the initial ideas and the concepts and movements that flowed from them. It's more interesting than you might think. Of course I do have lots of poems to read to you as well.

31 min - S7E36 The Poetry that is Waka
The next couple of months I’m going to intersperse our haiku and senryu poetry podcasts with podcasts about tanka, because we’re going to have a go at writing them in November 2024.
Today I’m looking at the premodern period, so a poetry type known as waka, composed before the tanka reforms of the late 1800s. By the end of the podcast you should know a bit about the history of waka and see the development of the form in this pre tanka world. It’s starting to look like something we might just recognise in our contemporary works. Don’t worry if you don’t immediately get them, we’ll look at them again.

24 min - S7E35 Poetry The Senryu Way part one
Today’s poetry is our very first senryū only edition of the poetry pea podcast. If you don’t know what senryū is, and it is a bit tricky to define in one sentence, please go and have a listen to the few podcasts I’ve recorded, including the podcast with Bona M Santos who came along to inspire you to write for the next call out in September 2024. Links will be in the show notes so do go and have a look and a listen or of course a watch. There are slides for Bona's presentation on YouTube. In case you didn’t know or have not subscribed to our YouTube channel it is quite simply Poetry Pea.

44 min - S7E34 It's all About the Bees - Original Haiku Poetry
poetrypea.com brings you a podcast of haiku all about the bees, well, more or less. The first poems were inspired by the Poetry Pea Video prompt which you can find on the Poetry Pea YouTube channel. There's a prompt every month except December. You can leave your poems in the comments section (as many as you want) and Linda will read them and chose some to feature on the podcast and in the Poetry Pea Journal. Go on you know you want to do it! Then in the second section Patricia reads more original bee haiku from past Journals. It really is a favourite topic. Head over to the show notes for links. If there's something missing, email me.
11 min - S7E33 Madku, featuring West Coast Poet, Bona M Santos

You will find the slides on the YouTube version, otherwise if you are an Issa or a Buson member they will be sent to your inbox, as long as I have the right email address. Membership information on the website.
