5. Haiku susreti u Kloštar Ivaniću
U subotu, 3.11.2007. god. u Kloštar Ivaniću mogli ste primijetiti skupine ne-domaćih ali sada već pomalo i domaćih haiku pjesnika kako obilaze znamenitosti kloštranske baštine, uživaju u kavici u nekom od zanimljivih kloštranskih lokala a iz Pučkog doma mogla se čuti pjesma, pljesak i veseli žamor.
Bio je to 5. jubilarni skup hrvatskih haiku pjesnika. Bili su to još jedni kloštranski haiku susreti.
Bogu hvala na prelijepom jesenjem danu i brojnim gostima. I opet se tražio stolac više, i opet je trebao tanjur više!
Stotinjak hrvatskih pjesnika, gosti udruge 'Tri rijeke' haiku pjesnici Otoka Ivanića i Turističke zajednice Kloštar Ivanić sudjelovalo je na recitalu haiku poezije. Tijekom službenog dijela programa, podijeljne su plakete i nagrade učenicima osnovnih škola i odraslima te je održan recital nagrađenih i pohvaljenih haiku. Nagrade je proglašava te dodijelila plakete predsjednica udruge Tri rijeke, Željka Vučinić-Jambrešić.
Promovirane su dvije knjige: Zbirka haiku poezije Božene Zernec iz Krapine na hrvatskom jeziku, engleskom jeziku i kajkavskom narječju mjesta Petrovsko kod Krapine; Šaran u oblacima. Knjigu ove uspješne haiku pjesnikinje prezentirala je Đurđa Vukelić-Rožić.
Također, učitelj i mentor, Stjepan Rožić, predstavio je zbirku Dubravka Korbusa, Danas je sunce veće nego jučer. Zbirka sadrži haiku, wake, haibune, lirske tekstove, eseje i kratke priče kojima se Dubravko po prvi puta predstavlja javnosti. Inače, Dubravko Korbus hrvatski je najuspješniji autor s najviše međunarodnih nagrada za haiku u Japanu uz posljednje dvije godine. Dubravko je sam recitirao svoje haiku.
I ove godine tiskan je zbornik nagrađenih te odabranih radova, eseji hrvatskih haiku pjesnika te leksikon poznatih stanovnika Otoka Ivanića iz Pera Dragutina Pasarića, koji su zadužili svoj kraj a više nisu s nama.
U neslužbenom dijelu 5. kloštranskih haiku susreta, razgovaralo se, razmjenjivalo zbirke i informacije, dogovarala daljnja suradnja a uz domaći ručak i kolače, zapjevalo se i zaplesalo uz tamburaše veseljake, članove KUD-a 'Kloštar'.

About the Venue
Annesbrook's foundations were set in the 1600's and it has grown through the 18th and 19th Centuries most notably when the Gothic dining room was added for the Prince Regent (later George IV).
Annesbrook is set in the Boyne Valley in the heart of archaeological Meath only 7 minutes from world-famous and historical Newgrange and less than half an hour from the Hill of Tara, Monasterboice, Trim Castle , Kells and important archaeological sites.
The 19th Century 2 acre walled garden provides most of the organic vegetable and fruit produce served for the meals at Annesbrook. The Orchard also dates from the 19th Century and contains many old varieties of apple including 'Blood of the Boyne ' which until very recently was thought to be extinct.
