Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that contains only 17 syllables in three lines. Haiku often captures a feeling or thought and is often about nature. For National Haiku Day in late December, we set up a Haiku station at the Dearborn Branch and invited people to come and leave their haikus on the table:

Spinning with the wind,
Crystal flakes descend to Earth –
Painting our world white.
