Open Access Haikus and Senryus
Raincoat Science: 43 More Open Access Haikus
Bill Hubbard has just announced the winner of the SHERPA "Spirit of Open Access" competition: Set your research free
As flowers offer nectar
To the passing bee
Miggie Pickton, University of Northampton, UK
Here are my own (losing!) entries, submitted under the pseudonym of "Matthew Bashore," only five of them a strict 5/7/5, the rest increasingly minimalist. (My own entries and most of the others were, strictly speaking, more in the spirit of senryus than haikus.) (I've added a few, written since, that would have been dead giveaways.)
17:
scribbler and scholar
behind the self-same barrier
one unwillingly
the work of others
easier for me to steal
than donate my own
tithes to help cure plague
instead they're helping tradesmen
to peddle their wares
via eyes and minds
its path to noble laurels
my work firewalled
skies above all clear
cosmonauts still unembarked
worried flight's not clearedfingertips so quick13:
stroke keys to boycott others
not to free their own
golden sun afar
blinds us to greener vistas
open to our view
yearning for freedom
we do not reach out for it
though its in our grasp
set it free at last
no lets fuss instead about
costs rights wrath and gold
why lord gautama
left india for china
keeps our fingers still
the elean sage
found no way to cross the room
we too paralyzed
what the tortoise asked
achilles to try in vain
we now must mandate
scholars all are monks
do monks have buddha nature?
answer still is mu
give-away findings
free for all
no I want my cut
"roses red violets blue"
stays unread
till paid by you
eureka
see what I have found
first shell out to look
ideas doomed
to stillbirth
toll-booths loom ahead
11:
scholars' spring
skyward glance
trade winds gathering
new era
thoughts at long last free
pay to view
9:
fruits of IQ
unlike haiku
free
free at last
not so fast
toll-gates last
along the road
to Stockholm
toll-booths
8:
like speech
text if metered
lose/lose
7:
words fleet
script perdures
bits blocked
ideas
born free
enchained
me to you
no
first pay him
charity
pricily
sold

The American Scientist Open Access Forum has been chronicling and often directing the course of progress in providing Open Access to Universities' Peer-Reviewed Research Articles since its inception in the US in 1998 by the American Scientist, published by the Sigma Xi Society.

The Forum is largely for policy-makers at universities, research institutions and research funding agencies worldwide who are interested in institutional Open Acess Provision policy. (It is not a general discussion group for serials, pricing or publishing issues: it is specifically focussed on institutional Open Acess policy.)
