Bindii 7 May 2011

On 7th May, 2011, Bindii met at the Box Factory on Regent Street South, Adelaide, from 10.30am to 1pm. Seven people attended, some were new members. The group was facilitated by Alexander Ask in the absence of Lyn Arden, who was away.

During the first half of the meeting, we reviewed some important principles of Haiku and then wrote several Haiku pieces. We wrote Autumn moon verses in preparation for next month’s Renku session. We then provided feedback to each other’s Haiku. The second part of the meeting involved a stroll outside in the gardens where we wrote more Haiku.

Overall, we had an enjoyable meeting and everybody is looking forward to the next meeting on 4th June, 2011.
