What is a haiku?
It's a Japanese poem,
with seventeen beats.
The first verse has five,
the second verse gets seven
and the third has five.
At first, the poems
described nature and beauty
with vivid language.
Many poets still
communicate artistry.
Others just make beats.
At CoRK they will hang
haikus from artists in Jax
screen printed on white.
"It is a very
simple piece of poetry,"
the host, Keith Marks, said.
“The aesthetic of
the show is clean and simple —
intimate with words."
"We tried to carry
haiku's simplicity to
the show's aesthetic"
Saturday at six,
twenty artists' poems will
be shown at CoRK West.
