HAIKU HIKING

LET US GO OUTSIDE

OBSERVE OUR MOTHER NATURE

BREATHE WRITE BE AT PEACE

A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count.  Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.

Create a HAIKU while hiking, draw a picture, snap a photo and send it to the library, or drop it off to Miss Vicki in the Children’s Section to post on our website.
