Thanks to the Dallas Flea, I had a place to start my Dallas adventures with ample inspiration!
Jesse (aka the MOST amazing security guard in the universe) guarded my table against the hot Dallas wind that ripped through the South Side of Dallas at breakneck speeds.
We wrote haiku about vendors, and small businesses over on Lamar- and tried to get them to play as well, but our most exciting moment happened between two sisters who initially needed parking, but returned to write haiku.
The elder sister approached me and asked if she could write a sister-tribute. “I’ve been having a really hard year” she said, “and my sister has really been there for me”
Clearly, I was not going to say her nay…
My sister loves me
Cradling my heart in hand
Such a gentle push
Is what emerged on the sidewalk- and the younger sister, once finding it, embraced her sister in a hug so tight, faces disappeared becoming one sister-body. We all cried. And were happy. And they walked off soon after arm-in-arm.
Then I called my sister

And the glorious Closing Ceremony at the Foundry, where tons of late-afternoon beer-garden-goers took up chalk and decorated the garden and it’s tables with haiku!

The Haiku Mistress
Actor and educator, Caley Vickerman, discovered haiku in 6th grade and they remain to this day a favorite method of expression; simple, precise and immeasurably powerful. It became her fervent wish to create events that celebrated haiku (and humanity). Thus the Guerilla Haiku Movement was born! …And the Haiku Mistress gratefully continues to celebrate! 
We are the Guerilla Haiku Movement; a cadre of artists, fun-lovers, and fools that use sidewalk chalk and the ancient Japanese poetic tradition of Haiku to tell our stories and the stories of our communities inside of one moment. Check out our events page to join us in a city near you!
