Haiku is a small poetry with oriental metric that appeared in the XVI century and is being very popular mainly in Japan. It's been disseminating in all around the world during this century. It have an old and long story that reminds the spiritualist philosophy and the Taoist symbolism of the oriental mystics and Zen-Buddhist masters who express much of their thoughts in form of myths, symbols, paradoxes and poetic images like the Haiku. It's done to transcend the limitation imposed by the usual language and the linear/scientific thinking that treat the nature and the human being as a machine.
It's a contemplative poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllables distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature.
More than inspiration, it's need meditation, effort and perception to compose a real Haiku.

I was wondering where it would be appropriate to post tanka, senryu, shadorma, etc...?

We have Zen and Tanka in the Workshop board They could be moved here (if there is a need)
I don't believe anyone has started posts for senryu, or shadorma. Feel free though, that would be great
