SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: National Haiku Poetry Day Anthology
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82855093815?pwd=Ryt0RzBqMmoyYWxJU3Q1YmJ2dnZmdz09 \nMeeting ID: 828 5509 3815 – Passcode: 838862 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: National Haiku Poetry Day Anthology  \nObserved annually on April 17\, National Haiku Poetry Day encourages all to try their hand in creativity. Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and usually consists of 3 lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Usually\, an element of nature\, a season\, moment of beauty\, or an individual experience inspires haiku poems. Sensory language is used to capture a feeling\, image or moment. \nAs one of the world’s oldest and most regularly used forms of poetry\, many poets wrote many haiku. While the most well-known is Matsuo Basho\, others we may recognize are William Blake\, T.S. Eliot\, Richard Wright and Maya Angelou. Try capturing an entire moment or emotion in 17 syllables and getting it right. English haiku does not always follow the strict syllable count found in Japanese haiku \nJoin us as the contributors to Moonstone’s Haiku Poetry Day Anthology read their work. \nNot all contributors will be reading: \nFran Abrams \nCarolyn Adams \nSandra Anfang \nFran Baird \nSunday Banks \nEben Bein \nMiriam Ben-Yoseph \nWilleena Booker \nSam Boone \nElizabeth Boquet \nChris Bray \nMatilda Bray \nJill Bronfman \nGrace Cavalieri \nEulinda A. \nClarke-Akalanne \nJ.J.
