Can you Haiku?





Roses are red

   Violets are blue

        I can Haiku

              Can you?

April is National Poetry Month and it’s your chance to be heard—no poetry experience necessary!  Just write your thoughts in 17 syllables, share on the Library’s “Haiku-Can You?” kiosk, and you’re a poet. 

Haiku [hahy-koo] is a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or of the seasons. Stop by the Library for examples and to share your creativeness.
