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).
