Haiku Display
October 8-19 @ Jackson
Haiku is a Japanese poem composed of three lines
and no rhymes. The first line has five syllables,
second line seven syllables and third line
five syllables. Usually the subject of the poetry is
nature but can be any subject.
We have exhibited several examples with
attached photographs which inspired the Haiku.
Then we laid out a "Haiku Starter" form for those
intrepid folks who would like to try their hand at
creating.
This is especially stimulating for students but adults
may also find it challenging. The challenge comes
from connecting the objective and subjective traits
of the mind and the reward comes from a
completed personal creation.
Come by for pure enjoyment!

"Aliens on Vacation" by Clete Barrett Smith  

"Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman"-
"I have long been a fan of Winston Churchill. However, as I watched the movie, it appeared that I was the only one who liked him. It helped that I knew the outcome and his contemporaries did not. This was the story of his first gig as Prime Minister at a time when not everyone knew about the true nature of Hitler. Churchill did not come to the position with a good reputation as a leader. To add to his woes, he was stubborn and did not take compromise lightly. In his dismay, he turned to the public and asked them directly, one-on-one, what they wanted for the country. To a person, they responded that they still wanted to fight the Nazis. Thus, his famous speech, "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing ground." Oldman convincingly captured Churchill's face and voice, so as an audience, I felt his conviction as if it were my ouwn country."-
Nancy, Jackson Branch
