Marlene ‘Mountain’ Morelock Wills (1939–2018), besides monoku, also published numerous concrete haiku for which she coined the terms unaloud haiku/eye-ku/dadaku. - Wikipedia. (The word 'dadaku' doesn’t appear to be a standard Japanese term. However, the meaning of the given name Dadaku represents compassion, creativity, reliability, generosity, loyalty and a love for domestic life.)
