GROUP 3: Solo Meandering

Neighborhood: Herald Square and Environs


the fruits of mine own small self...

gaze quizzically
the owls ask us questions
as we pass them by

to the hidden PATH
not everyone wants to live
in cramped manhattan

A big shout-out to all of the participants of this, the GHM inaugural event.  Everyone fully embraced the spirit of the movement and spread ample amounts of haiku-joy in the city! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

To us.  To Haiku.  To the Movement!

GROUP 2: the Mavericks

Neighborhood: the Village (at least, that was the intention...)


this mad-cap crew refused to follow any directions, and i am so pleased with them for making the experience their own.  watch their antics, and be amazed!

the groups first haiku          

a Happening at NYPL...

Kelly begins it...

...the curious crowd gathers

together they write

pioneers of the movement

more joy on the library steps

the lion, the witch
all rest in NYPL
books are fun, pigeon

our first doggy agent of haiku!

New York visitors
spread your holiday cheer
donate from your heart.

wreaking havoc outside of Grand Central.  

"No officer, we're not soliciting...we're spreading joy through haiku."

in Grand Central itself, things get a little hairy for the Mavericks...chalk and granite do not mix and the police were hot on their trails...luckily, they are of an inventive bent which led to...

serious thought...

 

and then...ACTION.  The first ever HAIKU DECLARATION! 

Kudos to Bryan of Team Maverick!

The Movement goes underground...

Urination Flowed
The stench is overwhelming
Where is the toilet?

creative with erasing...

the Mavericks finally arrive in Union Square! 

young people getting in on the Movement!  Hooray for Nicole and Nashid!!

 

i see the sun rise
i watch the sunset sadly
the sun is my light

more awesome people...can you read what they wrote?

  

music is my life
it's like air and like water
music feeds my soul

i wish i could see this one.  it is clearly remarkable

smartest city square
where chess is fav'rite past-time
wish i'd learned to play

wear my sunglasses 

at night. union of souls here

light up the darkness

-thanks to union square passer-by!

...on to Washington Square Park, Mavericks!

inspiring surroundings include musicians, artists and contortionists!

  
 

the crowd goes wild!

We adore you anyways, Annie!

a couple gets engaged.  we write haiku.  both leaps of faith.

taking the chalk seriously.  as it should be.

Admiring their handiwork:
Changing the face of two city squares!

 

 

Time for decadence

Cupcakes, friends and cloudy days

Off to sweet revenge.

suitable ending for the Mavericks...well done, team!
