RULES
- Post your poems as comments to poetry posts on PCPL’s social media accounts on either Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
- Use the hashtag #PCPLhaikuchallenge, and any others you wish. #stayconnected #poetrymonth2020 #communityhaikutime would also be great.
- Haiku should be original, that is to say, written by you or someone in your family. If you find one by someone else that you love and absolutely must share, please credit them in your comment.
- No prizes, but your poems will be compiled at the end of the month in a blog post on our website.
- What’s a haiku? Haiku are non-rhyming poems that are only 3 lines. The first line is 5 syllables, the second is 7 syllables, and the last one is 5 syllables.
