Haiku: Capturing Moments in Nature

Do you have a favorite season? Can you think of a moment that reflects everything you love about that time of year? The snow gently falling. A flower blooming. Ripe peaches. The leaves bursting with color. Join poet Jennifer Y. Montgomery on a journey through the history of haiku and other forms of Japanese micro-poetry, from frogs to Zen meditation to feudal love letters.  She’ll then guide us through the basics of writing and illustrating haiku. It’s much more than just counting lines and syllables; each haiku captures a season and a single moment in nature. Think about your favorite season and come prepared to write your own haiku.
