Many of us are still coming to terms with the fact that the Utah Jazz’s season is over. Maybe at a time like this we need to remember the words found on mugs and notebooks at the dollar store: “Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.”
In that spirit we present the winners of the Jazz Haiku Contest. These haikus remind us of brighter days. Back when the hopes for this season were high and Jazz pride burned in the heart of every Utahn.
1st Place – Suzanne Hodson
Flying through the air,
You slam the ball in the hoop.
“Mitchell scores again!”
2nd Place – Grant Allen
Anticipation
The hopes and cheers from my youth
All about that Jazz!
3rd Place – Kris Pease
Most wins in the league
On our home court all will see
How great we can be
Dishonorable Mention – Jake Gould
