Spring Haiku Circle - a 4 week series

Learn the principles of haiku, a short form of Japanese poetry inspired by nature.

dance, from one blade of grass
to another --
pearls of dew!
-Ransetsu From "Haiku Enlightenment" by Gabriel Rosenstock

Led by Maryam Mermey, in a relaxed environment, participants will compose and share haiku outside in the beauty of nature in the spring. Each week a Japanese writing prompt is offered, such as ada: innocence and butsuga ichino: being one with the subject of inspiration. Participants may also experience the playful joy of writing collaborative haiku.

The Spring Inspired Haiku Circle values each person's haiku as a gift.
