memory lane by Chip Ault Looking back through the semester, I realized that I wasn't the best at capturing the moment while living, but most of my haiku were my reflection on events that I had already experienced. Even though I felt the most inspired when I was listening to other people talk about their original haiku, most of the haiku that I had written about my childhood were the most popular. Taking this class has been a wonderful "eye opener" because I really enjoy reading and writing haiku, and I know I will continue to write out of school. For now, I will be happy with the haiku enclosed. — Chip '04

Chrissy Hulse writes: What I enjoy about Chip's writing is that he writes from his heart about his childhood and loved ones. He is able to capture a memory and illustrate it in such a way that allows the reader to relate themselves to his writings one way or another. His creativity and interest in haiku is vividly displayed in his desire to attempt different forms and styles. I enjoy reading Chip's haiku because he is able to use his experiences and memories to create such vidid images like: sunset over the water two sets of prints into the distance
