Submissions will be accepted until April 30. \nWhat are Haiku\, again?\nHaiku are a form of poetry originating in Japan. Each haiku contains seventeen syllables divided into three lines. The first and last line each contain five syllables while the second line contains seven syllables. Here’s a bear-themed haiku by Megan Sharkey of Alaska: \nGarbage on the porch\nis the best way to get a\nbear on short notice \nWe welcome submissions by children\, teens\, and adults. Everyone who submits a haiku may pick up a free MRV Bear Initiative magnet available at any MRV library. Let’s celebrate poetry\, community\, and bear awareness together! \nWhat is the Mad River Valley Bear Initiative?\nThe Mad River Valley Bear Initiative is a local volunteer group that raises awareness about the bears that live around us in the Valley.
