About this event

Do you love poetry? Come learn the basics of this miniature poetic style with a big impact at Brooks Memorial Library. Students will learn the 5 principles of haiku, be introduced to some of the most prolific poets of haiku, and have an opportunity to workshop their in-class poems.

Free and open to the public. Materials will be provided, and any writings created in the class may be submitted to the 2026 Festival of Miniatures Haiku Competition.

Brooks Memorial Library is proud to host the first annual Festival of Miniatures Haiku Competition . This poetic form may be miniature, but a well written haiku can have a big impact. To enter, contestants may submit as many as 5 haiku before the deadline of December 1, 2026.

There are two submission categories, Adult and Youth. The Youth category is for ages 18 and under. Winners will be announced Monday, December 7.
