Haiku Encounter

Can poetry inspire people to discover their city on foot? 

We think it can and want to make that happen – here in London and elsewhere in the world. With your help, we shall.

To take part, all you have to do is to compose a haiku – a short form 3-line poem that is a picture  revealing the characteristics of a place.  Haiku don’t have to be made up of 17 syllables (5 in the first and third lines, and 7 in the middle line), but we have found that that form is a great starting point to get one’s head around writing haiku.

Want to try composing haiku now?  Here’s the link to our Haiku encounter submission page. To find out more about the Haiku encounter project – click here for a bit more history. These links are temporarily disabled ( from Oct 2019).
