User:Gunsaku

This is the Wikipedia page of user:Gunsaku. The word is of Japanese origin, meaning gathered, or group verse. The gathering of differing viewpoint concerning the same phenomema is the act of gunsaku.The perspectives gathered in such a manner are collectively gunsaku. In literal reality, gunsaku is most often used to describe collected haiku poetry that, while composed separately, and able to stand as individual works,  are gathered to document or celebrate a particular occasion. Pronounced "Goon-sah koo" this form of collected verse is most often contrasted with Rensaku, being verse collected to function as would stanzas in a lyrical composition. As rensaku verses gain their significance from their particular position in the larger piece, a gunsaku verse can be read in any order without disturbing the nature of the larger work. In social networking settings, I view myself as a gunsaku verse, fitting anywhere in a group. I find the gunsaku identity especially useful as an internet paradigm, as I tend to stand alone in a conversation, functioning as an individual, rather than representing a group.
