The haiku became an independent poetic form in the 13th century, having originated in Japan.

Guided by the theme of peace, the writers formed haikus to celebrate the end of April.

Ellie: One seed, fertile soil / Souls seeking serenity / Peace starts with me

Mari: With all of us here / we are so diverse / yet so much alike

Graeme: All the folk we see / may differ in every way / Peace begins with me

Qiu pu Qiang/Lian Siou En: (translated from Chinese) Peace is a symbol / symbolises everyone’s mercy / like a gift from God

Maxien: Water from ferns drip / small birds alight on branches / silently peaceful

Irene: Peace, oh mighty peace / how grand to have heaven / immediately

Tony: Rocks, trees, grass, water / In my hand a grain of sand / slides into shadows

Craig: Peace begins with me / Everybody get on board / A better world now!
