Event Overview
While in modern times poetry is considered high brow, poetry contests were held at parties in Japan much like the 50's slam competitions. Haiku is not the shortest poem form but still manages to consist of three lines.
In this class, we will talk about the structure of the Haiku and the Waka, both very simple poems, flowed by examples of both ancient and modern poets. Then the fun starts. In a safe environment the class will take part in a poetry game to generate numerous Haiku and Waka poems of your own as well as one large collaborative poem.
We will sip tea read aloud and make new friends as we break into poetry.
