The Gumberg Library hosted a contest for writing Haikus in celebration of the DUQ Reads program that occurred in Spring 2017. The following haikus were chosen for first, second, and third prizes, along with an honorable mention. The DUQ Reads Committee thanks all of its participants for the DUQ Haiku Contest.
choking on a gnat
on a sunny April day
tasting winter's thaw
Cold, dry, dust-filled air.
Self-worth like a rosebush dies.
Hoarse gunshots echo.
Live, do not exist
Like a tortoise locked away
Struggle for freedom
Dust is blowing hard
It is in your bed all night
It is in your shoes.
