Feel free to give suggestions.
Wishing you happiness on your haiku journey.

Cool! I’ll keep popping in and out, and start making a list I can share too.
Just one typo I immediately spotted, and that is of saijiki (not sajiki):
A saijiki (歳時記 “year time chronicle”)
Wikipedia
And its sister companion, in a way, is this one:
A kiyose (Japanese: 季寄せ) is similar, but does not contain sample poems.

Thanks Alan :) I knew I had a typo somewhere. I added kiyose as well.

After spending two full days proofreading one journal and one new collection, I’m surprised my eyes didn’t cross over. Thanks for adding kiyose as well!
warm regards

Everything starts out humble for practical reasons. I can see this growing into an essential guide.

I added quite a bit more entries now. I think it is more comprehensive. I did not want to add many terms related to renga and forms in the beginning, but I think it made it more holistic.
