For the 13th consecutive year, various staff from the 3rd floor of the Spina Administration Building celebrated National Poetry Month with a haiku slam on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. We thought we'd share our work with the college community.
(For those of you new to haiku, haiku is a very stylized form of poetry consisting of three line phrases with 5 / 7 / 5 syllables respectively. The theme is typically seasonal– i.e., passing of winter, arrival of spring.)
Spiderman havoc / My daily commute destroyed / Move along spidey
Spring – so worth the wait / Magnolia blossoms sway / In dappled sunlight
Spring soil soft and warm / Old friends pop out to greet us / Wave their soft green leaves
The buds have started / The color of the blossoms / Seamless forever
Look forward and see / The beauty of spring and all / Spring, not fall ahead
Gloomy rain or snow / Beneath brown wet barren trees / Stubborn crocus grows
Night is upon us / The practice of life repeats / Life goes on and on
Spring unfurls with grace / Brown twigs fuse bright explosions / Greatly, Slowly – Boom
Shades of gray, our skies / Torture of spring, submit not / Be patient for blue
