Thanks, Robyn! (Sorry for the slow response!) I tend to overplan, and sometimes supply way more information than an audience can take in. This was a great opportunity to mention just one aspect of haiku at each stone and allow the walk-time between stones for it to be absorbed.

How wonderful that you were open to joining an unplanned “teaching moment” to the invitation of a “haiku moment” – terrific post. And these poems are gorgeous.

Thanks, Charlotte! I can’t wait until you make it to Millersburg to see The Forest Haiku Walk in person!

Thanks, Ellen.
Yes, placement was a major consideration when placing the stones and ordering the poems. Interesting to consider yet another component of these little poems and their big impact!

Thanks Julie
I could picture your haiku stone walk as you told the story. Love that it began with friends and other guests at the inn, all who did not know much about haiku.
I will try this sometime.

Dear Julie, Thank you. I like your idea of juxtaposition between the poem and place.
