Winners of the Recovery Haiku Contest

April was National Poetry Month  and Out of the Woods hosted the first annual poetry contest. This year’s theme: Twelve Step Haiku.   Lots of wisdom and some humor from all entries.

Congratulations to the 2011 Winners:

STEP 10:

Today again, well…

Progress not perfection.

Fess up, try again.    (Barbra J.)


STEP 3:

You told me: Let go,

Let God. Be honest, open

minded and willing.     (Meg T.)


STEP 4:

When pain was too great

My sponsor said, “Start writing”.

I put it on paper.      (Sondra G.)


Honorable Mention:

STEP 12:

Little tiny poem

to say how much this means.

Gratefully sober.       (Dani G.)
