Tugann Comórtas Filíochta Haiku Duais Bashō cuireadh do dhaltaí iarbhunscoile haiku a chumadh, i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge nó go dátheangach, agus a gcuid haiku a chur faoi bhráid moltóra. Is é an haiku an fhoirm fhileata is giorra ar domhan a tháinig chun cinn sa tSeapáin sa 17ú hAois, agus a bhláthaigh i ré an mháistir mhóir, Bashō. Scríobhtar dánta haiku i dtrí líne de ghnáth agus tá seacht siolla déag ar a mhéad iontu.
The Duais Bashō Haiku Poetry Competition asks post-primary students to compose a haiku in the English or Irish language and submit their haiku for adjudication. The haiku is the shortest poetic form in the world which originated in Japan in the 17th Century, first refined and championed by haiku master Bashō. Haiku poems are usually written in three lines and contain a maximum of seventeen syllables. As part of this project, haiku poets Liam Carson, Rody Gorman and Maeve O’Sullivan have been conducting workshops with students throughout the country. This event will feature a haiku reading – with music from Seán Mac Erlaine – and the announcement of the winners.
