Meeting Summary for July 24, 2014

Post date: Jul 25, 2014 8:44:33 PM

The July 24, 2014 Haiku Northwest meeting took place at Seattle’s Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard. Present were Terran Campbell, Dianne Garcia, Kat Hawkinson, Tanya McDonald, Michelle Schaefer, Wes Sprague, Angela Terry, and Michael Dylan Welch. Despite earlier rain, the weather held and we were able to meet in the garden at two large benches overlooking the passing boats. After a few quick bites to eat, we toured the Locks, and visited the fish ladder viewing windows (running mostly with Steelhead, but with one large salmon among them that could have been a Coho). The gardens were fabulous, freshly watered from the day’s rain. We shared haiku and discussed doing more submission parties. We walked away with enough inspiration to write more haiku to share at our next meeting, which will take place on August 21 at the Lake Forest Park Library.
