WE'RE PROUD OF OUR WORK
THE SECRET TO UNFORGETTABLE EVENTS
TAP THE EMOTIONAL UNDERCURRENT
Our poets are vibe masters. They pick up what your guests are feeling, collaborate on a topic, and co-create the most personalized entertainment experiences possible.
CRAFTED IN A FLASH
Each haiku only takes a few minutes, allowing our team to create personalized works of art for a large volume of people in a short amount of time. Everyone who wants a haiku gets a haiku.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED
We stamp the back of each haiku with your logo or monogram. Most guests immortalize their haiku by placing it on their desk or nightstand, framing it their wall, or even getting a tattoo.
WHY HAIKUISTS
Content Worth Sharing
Everyone wants to know what your haiku was about, and they want to tell you theirs. The experience is social media gold, sure. But the real magic is that it's shareable in the moment, at your event. It is the ultimate icebreaker and gives strangers reasons to become new friends.
World Class Poets
We found the most tapped in people on the planet to entertain your guests. They are the type of people whose special talent is connecting deeply with anyone about any topic and immediately capturing the spirit of their conversation with a haiku. They are trained on our process and overseen by a team of booking managers.
Over a Decade of Experience
Eleven years have honed our craft, but the magic never gets old. Our poets aren't just performers, they're explorers. They dive into your event, seeking authentic connections with every guest. It's this constant exploration, fueled by experience, that creates unforgettable moments of poetry.

Typical setup is two poets dressed to impress, each with a vintage manual typewriter and a sign that says "Free Haiku." We station in a high traffic, high visibility area and remain stationary.
