Haiku Contest Winners!

By Carrie

Congratulations to Serene Rock and Alex Botsios, winners of the Law Library Haiku Contest!  We received so many great poems, it was difficult to choose just two, but we think you’ll agree that their haikus are clearly winners.

Where is your Sun Card?
Lost! Home! In my other pants.
Will you let me in?

-Serene Rock, Access Services “Door Buzzer”

Out of study rooms
Cannot nap in common space
Library letdown.

-Alex Botsios

The judges would also like to give honorable mention to Sam Renaut for his haiku:

Sun baked sandy shores
Ebbing tides cool weathered feet -
Grow old together.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a haiku.  The complete list of all poems submitted is below.

Today’s beautiful,
But why do I care ’bout that?
I am in law school.
~Henry Whitmer

Good, to be outside
Bad, stuck inside study room
Soon, end of law school.
~Brian Lewis

The Law Library,
Peaceful study of the law,
Books abound to read.
~Amy Levine

Commanded to read
Professor controls the class
Soft despotism.
~Brian Lewis

Indian lawyers
Assimilating force OR
Modern warriors?
~Dan Lewis

Monotonously,
Perpetually Endless
Time - never enough.
~Dan Lewis

Gray skies dotted white
Snowflakes fall on waiting tongues
Schoolchildren rejoice.
~Loren Morris

Rainfall patters on
Budding spring gulps thirstily -
Life reborn in spring.
~Sam Renaut

Green fades to red hue
Crisp leaves crackle underneath
Fall into slumber.
~Lyn Gulley
