Haiku Walking Tours-Here and Now, Discover Mississauga and More

Here and Now, Discover Mississauga and More will be an eBook that we hope to create from two haiku walking tours and three online haiku workshops. One of 2022 MAC MicroGrant Winning Program, everyone is welcome to join us no matter where you live.

Haiku is a short poetry form, originally from Japan with 17 on (phonetic units similar to syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern. Most haiku use concrete images to describe natural and human experience, using a two-part juxtaposition as well as simple and objective language to capture a moment and present it as it is.

Haiku has been changed as time has gone by, but the philosophy of haiku has been preserved: the focus on a brief moment in time (here and now); a use of stimulating sensory images; an ability to be read in one breath; and a sense of sudden enlightenment or illumination, or sheer beauty and wonder.
