Urban Tree Festival: Haiku in Queen's Wood

Free form walk in which you get to write and inspire others to write haiku. With the option to have them printed and published in a zine – as an anthology from the walkshop. 

We are off to Haiku in Queen’s Wood, to step into a woodland wonderland. Walk with us composing haiku, through one of London’s best preserved woods and having fun capturing London’s heritage in just 3 lines and 17 syllables.

Pretty London wood
We'll be going nuts counting
haiku syllables

Haiku, the 3-line short form poem most associated with Japanese culture, are an amusing challenge to write and recite. Haiku can be read on two levels: literal and symbolic, so a simple description of a scene qualifies as much as a symbolic interpretation. Suitable for complete novices or expert poets, Haiku in Queen's Wood walkshop will inspire you to compose and recite haiku.

Meet outside the Queen's Wood Community Cafe (just 5 minutes walk from Highgate tube).

 

Suitable for 16+ / Accompanied children 12+ - children come free
