    Haiku is a short 3-line Japanese poetry form with 17 syllables in a pattern of 5, 7, 5 syllables. It focuses on contrasting images and seasonal references to perceive moments of nature. Haiku classes are offered to help develop observation and interpretation skills through weekly practice sessions and publication opportunities. While traditional haiku follows strict syllable rules, modern haiku is more flexible in form and subject matter with no language barriers.
