Haiku Event
So... you think you're Clever?
The well-educated amongst you already know what Haiku is.

For everyone else, put simply it is a discipline of poetry that originated in the lands of the feudal lords, understandable given all the cherry blossom.
The structure is simple, a short verse that tends to consist of 17 syllables or sounds, divided into 3 short lines, usually 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.

An Example:
The Law protects you-
Into the cell, safe and sound.
Welcome to Trinsic.

You get the idea. Well, you should..
And you ought also to be at the Lyceum
with your Haiku offering on Tuesday 22nd November!

On Behalf Of Phaedra Quaintly,
