4/17 International Haiku Poetry Day celebrates the art form every April 17. A haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines with the syllable structure “five-seven-five” — although this is contested for being a western way of teaching the haiku. Japanese haikus also count sounds, not only syllables.

Radiant smile brightens days
You know acceptance

Social justice advocate
Equity for all

I wish you were here
