The Middlesex Haiku Contest is our annual way to welcome (or encourage the arrival of) the spring season. This year, though the campus is still covered with many inches of snow in March, we hope that the crocus flowers are going to peep up their beautiful buds soon. Below are some of the Haiku Contest submissions read in Chapel by the Director of Spiritual and Ethical Education, Cabell King.
