A
WALK IN THE DARK
Selected Haiku
by
Angela D. Williams
I
chose to title this collection of haiku A Walk in the
Dark because many of the haiku I decided to include
are about my experiences as a freshman at Blackburn College.
Blackburn
is a small, private university in Carlinville, IL, which happens
to be a small town. Because of its size and low crime rates,
Carlinville held a deep sense of safety and security for me
while I lived there, as well as for many of the other students.
Being a small town, there wasn’t much to do, and the
chosen activity for many of the students at Blackburn was
to get a small group of friends and together and take long
walks around the town after dark.
Some
of the best memories that I have are of the nighttime walks
that I took in Carlinville, gazing at stars with the people
I cared about.
