Food Haiku Winners 2023!

Food Haiku Winners!

The object of this contest 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. After reading all the gastronomically talented entries, the now-ravenous faculty voted, and here are the winners.

I love chocolate

Rich and dark and bittersweet

Like tasting a hug

—Diya M., 6th, Green

2nd Place Tie

Fries in a milkshake:

Tasteful cacophony that

Sweetens every bite



—Rylie, 7th, Green

Crunch like a fall leaf

The sharp flavour of spicy

I love Hot Cheetos

3rd Place

McDonald’s ice cream

Machine never ever works

My lonely taste buds

Honorable Mention Tie

Cake waltzes on the

Wind, a fragrant flower in

The air as it flies

The bane of my existence

I would rather die
