Winners of the WUWC Haiku Contest

In honor of National Poetry Month, the Walden Writing Center ran a haiku contest in April. Entrants had to be Walden students, and their submissions had to be in the traditional 5-7-5 syllabic structure on the theme of writing.

And now we give you...our winners!

Is it 'I' or 'me'?
When do I use 'us' or 'we'?
Staff, I must agree. 

~Jackie Rebideau

APA Guide...Check.
Spelling and References...Check.
Student I am...Check. 

~Alissa Geurink

We loved the playfulness of Jackie's poem and her focus on one specific aspect of scholarly writing: point of view. In Alissa's haiku, we enjoyed the repetition of "Check" (we envisioned a student proofreading a paper) and her mention of the APA manual as a resource.

Congratulations, Jackie and Alissa! Keep writing!
