This year, Overlake ran its first Food Haiku contest. The object was for students to write a haiku—five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line, five in the third—about something related to food. Out of all the gastronomically talented entries the now-ravenous faculty voted on, here are the winners.

1st Place
The lovely taste flows
Over my tongue so swiftly
How I love ice cream
–Sara, 8th

2nd Place
All the bright colors
Sitting in a pack of joy
I love M&Ms
–Harriet, 8th

3rd Place
Little small and neat
There is something filled with meat
Is that stromboli?
–Shriya, 8th

Honorable Mention
Refrigerator
My favorite place on earth
It’s my second home
–Ada, 8th

There once was an apple
He did not want to be pie
Then came Thanksgiving
Lulu, 6th
