I may not have the most school spirit, although it’s been known to get conjured during basketball season, but I sure am grateful to the University of Kansas for the immeasurably awesome friends and experiences it gave me. Here, some thank-you haikus celebrating a few of those people. I so appreciate you reading my blog. Rock Chalk!

Allyson F.

Your Feeding Sparrows

Is transformational, bright

Your light shines through it

Andy O.

You taught me to write

Scared me a little bit, too

First, fave editor

Melinda W.

Beyond womanly

You, alluring, always glowed.

Your life force dazzles.

Ashley L.M.

Graciousness in gold

Always gleaming, style to spare

Complex and lovely

Julie Z.

Reliably true

Flawless skin mirrors your heart

Luminous yogi

Catherine B.

You remind me of

the old Hollywood beauties

Classic, radiant
