April 2025 National Poetry month – Haiku near you

Yes. April is National Poetry month. All of it.   April 1 through April 30th

For all of April 2025, River Poets will distribute a number of Haiku throughout Bloomsburg. Look for them in shops, along walks, in parks, on walls, sidewalks.  Take some time to read and think about one that you have found.

Simple presentations of white canvas boards with black lettering feature works mostly by Basho, Issa, and Jack Kerouac, with a few others tossed in the mix.

The Haiku often is thought to be a 3 line 17 syllable 5-7-5 layout. That is often not the case translated into English. So consider the effort to be Americanized Haiku…mostly 3 lines not necessarily 17 syllables and definitely not 5-7-5.  However, they are shorter than this explanation.
