The College’s English Department recently ran a Haiku poetry competition where students were asked to write poems in which they expressed their thoughts and feelings about studying English at the College. Haikus are a traditional form of Japanese poetry, consisting of three lines; the first and last lines of the haiku have five syllables and the middle line has seven syllables.
Congratulations to Amy Began, Olivia Lewry and Magdalena Ciesnowska-Jankowska who won Amazon vouchers for their interesting and thought-provoking haikus!
How hard can it be?
I speak English, so easy.
Ha. Famous last words!
(Amy Began)
A door of knowledge.
It opens up every day,
sharing its secrets
(Olivia Lewry)
We're the creators;
our words the tools that make us,
who we really are.
(Magdalena Ciesnowska-Jankowska)
The department received a number of excellent entries from students which were all displayed on the competition board during the College’s Open Days.
Well done to all the students who entered!
