AHS Autumn Equinox Haiku String 2019
AHS invites you to share with us your original haiku about City Life. This is a wide-ranging topic. We invite you to explore a multiplicity of ideas in the String without using the words ‘city life’.
The haiku will be linked by the subject City Life. It is not necessary for each haiku to relate to the one before it.
