Get creative with the written word and participate in Haiku from Home, a new project developed by local poet and educator, Gianna Russo, and launched by our Division of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
Write a haiku about a distinct moment during these days of the pandemic. Haiku is a small, three-lined poem whose lines are based on syllable counts of 5/7/5/: five syllables for the first line, seven for the second line, and ending with five syllables for the third line.
