· A DC moment / observed in DC

· Something that you are grateful for

· Seasons, or

· Something small and wild.

Poets of all ages are eligible to enter and may submit up to two haikus. Prize-winners will take home library swag and eternal glory. Winning poems will be posted in the library and on the Library website in May. To enter, pick up a paper form from the library or enter online with our online form. https://forms.gle/5hmYdghpy9vU9VQM9
