April is National Poetry Month. We're celebrating with our first annual "Hello Haiku."
The library invites you to submit haiku by April 30 (for children and teens) or April 25 (for adults by April 30 for adults now, too!). Poems will be displayed in the
library. Everyone who enters a poem will
be entered in a prize drawing.
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems contain 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables.

Here is a haiku about haiku!
Five syllables
first
Then seven in

Five more at the end |
Here is another example of haiku:
Libraries are
great
They have books,
movies, and more
I can't wait to
go!
