A fair number know that it usually references nature and implies a season. Come and learn a few more things about the haiku form and its history, listen to some traditional and not-so-traditional examples of it, and spend a little time writing one or two yourself with Karen Elliott, whose poetic goal for 2014 is to write a haiku for each day.
