The next time it rains, you might see a haiku magically appear on a Newcastle sidewalk. The City of Newcastle is proud to partner with the Newcastle Library, Newcastle Arts Council and 4Culture to place haikus across five sidewalk locations using Rainworks' rain-activated solution.

The Newcastle Library held a haiku contest and the judges selected five lucky winners whose works are now on display. Get out and see all of them at the following five locations:

Coal Creek Pkwy & Newcastle Way - Fruit and Produce pedestrian corner 
Sunny days ahead,
dancing around the city.
Bring your hopes and dreams.

Family is key
Together we overcome
Love will lead the way

Some colorful rocks
along our green forest trails
Cheerful reminders!
