Give me a practice set for short poetic forms. Forms I want (haiku, tanka, senryu, limerick, couplet): [FORMS]. Subjects I like: [SUBJECTS]. My level: [LEVEL].

For each form explain the traditions briefly and accurately, noting that rules vary between English and Japanese practice. Provide five prompts per form linked to my subjects and a model of my own prompt written by you, labelled as an example. Include a critique checklist: image, juxtaposition, surprise, sound, and economy. After I paste my attempts, I want your feedback in three bullets each. Offer a daily 10-minute routine for two weeks that builds from observation to composition.

Add a short reflection prompt after each practice session and a weekly review method for choosing the best piece. Provide guidance on sharing work online safely and respectfully, such as crediting prompts and avoiding posting private details, and a gentle note that contemporary writers often adapt traditional constraints.
