Our theme for this year’s celebration of poetry is haiku, a poetic form that originated in Japan and usually appears in English as three lines, each with a distinct syllable count: five, seven and five. Rhyme and meter are irrelevant. And the syllable count is a guideline, not a rule. A good haiku vividly captures a moment, and not all moments fit into a tidy seventeen syllables.
