I think a picnic lunch is the easiest and we can share our haiku and discuss our observations over lunch. So please bring you own picnic lunch, drinks, hat, walking shoes and sunscreen.
You don’t need to walk far, you can stay in one area if you
prefer, or for those unable to walk far.

What is a ginko?

“A ginko is a haiku walk through a chosen location where poets write, discuss, revise, workshop, read, laugh, breathe and listen to haiku.” Myron Lysenko

What happens in a ginko?
We gather and have a little talk about haiku and what we're doing.
We head out separately or in small groups to go for a walk and make notes on things we observe along the way, sometimes whole haiku come out at that stage.We gather back together and share our notes, spend some time writing up our ideas into haiku.We share our haiku and offer ideas or feedback. This could be done over a picnic lunch.
