What is a HAIKU?
A haiku is a Japanese poem made of 17 syllables and 3 lines - 5/7/5 - learn more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

Bea's Example:

"You want fries with that?" (5 syllables)
After MBA Classes... (7 syllables)
"Bring me my coffee." (5 syllables)

There's NO wrong answer - so submit your HAIKU and you can be a winner!!

Best,
Bea[/b]

Miss the smell of books,
the hall wings and the late night chats.
The opportunity to redeem myself.

Hi AbhiJ,

Thanks so much for your submission - however, due to low response rate we are closing down this contest and will not distributing prizes for this contest.

Also, I appreciate your poem and love the story you create. However, for your reference, a haiku is a Japanese poem that is made up of 3 lines - 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the 3rd line. In your submission, you have 5 syllables, 8 syllables, and then 11 syllables.

I realize a Haiku is not well-known globally, so I apologize for any confusion! Please stay tuned for an update on how we plan to distribute these bootcamp prizes.

All the Best,
Bea
