17 April 2020 - International Haiku Poetry Day

Today is International Haiku Poetry Day!

If you’re interested in learning how to write haiku, I’ve created a worksheet for the day in lieu of the in-person workshop and ginko that I was going to do at my local library. Find that HERE! Hope you find you enjoy writing haiku as much as I do…
