What is a Haiku?

A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry made of short, unrhymed lines that evoke natural imagery. Haiku can come in a variety of different formats of short verses, though the most common is a three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

Example of a Haiku:

The tree shape I blew
From a little drop of paint
Looks like a dancer

On Thursday, Oct. 21 from 12 – 1 p.m. the Department of Medicine’s Diversity and Inclusion Council will host a Hispanic Heritage Month Inclusion Rounds featuring Dr. Rafael Campo, a physician and poet. Dr. Campo will join us to discuss “Cultural Competence: Poetry and the Importance of Voice In Diverse Illness Experiences.”

Participants will experience how poetry joins us empathetically, through its sound and structure as much as through its insistent invitation to share in diverse human experiences, and learn how it may help to heal even medicine itself. Register Here
