When is National Haiku Poetry Day?

Monday April 17th

On April 17, National Haiku Poetry Day, an annual event, encourages people to try their hand at creativity. Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and typically consists of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Usually, haiku poems are inspired by an element of nature, a season, a moment of beauty, or an individual's experience. Sensory words are used to describe a feeling, image, or moment.
