Haiku

Haiku are poems meant to capture a moment in time with simplicity and richness, and often express emotional insights into nature. ​

 

Haiku are unrhymed poems with

  • Five syllables in the first line

  • Seven syllables in the second line

  • And five syllables in the third line ​

 

We invite you to craft a haiku that highlights the importance of our Urban Growth Boundary in Petaluma and the natural beauty it protects.

 

Take a stroll through Petaluma's open spaces and let the inspiration flow.

City’s edge drawn tight,
Fields whisper of their old dreams
Vote houses and nature

Plans to improve all our lives
