Abstract: McCloskey (1998) and Ziliak (2009) have argued for bridging the intellectual and pedagogical divide between 'poets and positivists'. And Ziliak (2002, 2009, 2011) introduced a new bridge, 'haiku economics'. An introductory economics class at a large US university required students to use a work of visual art from the university's art museum and write a haiku poem that illustrated the artwork and an economic concept. The format of the assignment, samples of the students' work as well as student feedback on the assignment are presented. The pedagogical goals and the evolving nature of the assignment are also discussed.
