Harvard Haiku Contest – The Harvard Press

First Place – 2011

Hand-pressed by “our” Phil,
tumbled apples soon become
Harvard in a jug.

—Jeff Levering, Finn Road

First Place – 2010

yesterday a child
today, raving lunatic
atrocious hormones

—Ames Hardymon, Old Boston Turnpike

First Place – 2009

A sudden sharp blare
blasts the pre-dawn calm. Crisis?
No. Connect-Ed call.

—Didi Chadran, Stow Road

First Place – 2008

Pond opens, arms wide
splashing, laughing, back to life
Second raft beckons

—Jake Kline, Park Lane

First Place – 2007

Twirling up the hills,
Parasols of pink and white:
Apple blossom dance

—Carlene Phillips, Oak Hill Road
