Clermont College Library<\/a> celebrated National Poetry Month with the fifth annual Haiku Contest. Sixty-five students submitted 155 haiku. The poets came from a variety of majors including IT, history, and of course English.<\/p>\n

Each morning during the entry period, I opened the portal and collected the poems. Haiku is a poetic form that is dependent on the experiences of the person writing. As I read each one, I admired the uniqueness of each poem.<\/p>\n

After I read the haiku, I collected them in a document (sans\u00a0the authors\u2019 names) and sent them to our wonderful judges, Professors Cassie Fetters and Mike Hampton, who determined the winners.<\/p>\n

Grand prize went to Meranda Balkema for:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Merenda<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Darkness cannot win<\/p>\n

If I do not let it in<\/p>\n

Spring\u2019s sun, makes it run<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 
\nThree honorable mentions were chosen:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love, justice, freedom<\/p>\n

Sometimes that which gives us life<\/p>\n

Can tear us apart<\/p>\n

– Tessa Moore<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Serendipitous<\/p>\n

One word with five syllables<\/p>\n

That is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

– Evan Tellep<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I despise the foes<\/p>\n

Who char marshmallows to ash<\/p>\n

And say \u201cedible\u201d<\/p>\n

– Julia Wahle<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to all who entered. We look forward to the 2017 Haiku Contest.<\/p>\n
