Haiku is a form of poetry that consists of a verse of 17 syllables split up into three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Your haiku needed to fall into one of the following categories: MS-Free Zone; Hopes, Dreams, and Goals; Positive Thinking and Humor; or Self-Image. The MS Focus team thoroughly enjoyed reading all of the entries and wish we had space to print them all. Congratulations to our many winners whose haiku are presented here. A special congratulations to Donna Lee Ball, Kalonie Lopez, and Sharon Greenwood, whose names were chosen in a random drawing of our winning entries to receive $25 gift cards. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of our participants for sharing their wonderful haiku with us! We hope that you all keep writing and sharing your creative work with the MS community for many years to come.
