our words.

And the winner of the Haiku Slam is….

Round 1 - MARCUS CARMON Round 2 - LIZ MITCHELL

If you missed the Haiku slam then you truly missed a treat.  Not only did members of "the 5th Woman" 2015 participate and share their attempts at haikus.  We were blessed by youth poets Lilly and Noah and got a few non-poets to step up and share their haikus as well.  The night ended with a cipher and music!  So if you missed it, you missed a treat!  You can be at next one in August!  Check out some pictures of those that shared.
