Haiku Poetry Contest to celebrate April 23rd.

First time to hear that word?  Welcome to the group, then !! You’ll soon love it…! First  of all ,what are “haiku”? “Haiku” are Japanese poems  made up of three verses , which contain 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. Their topics are nature, seasons and daily life. They capture a simple moment in nature, but they often surprise us for their simplicity and beauty. Originally, they were written in Japanese; today loads of poets in many countries write haiku in their languages.
Next time, at the bus stop, waiting at a queue, walking by the street … say to yourself: “Well , this is the perfect moment to create or write  haiku.”
