The results are in for the Haiku a Book Contest.  The top 2 were hard to choose from, and our judges liked some of the others enough I want to mention them as well. Here are the top 6, with #1 being the winner.

1. Fiction is not false.
   Great truths are often revealed
   By ink on paper.
   by Jim
2. Consuming a book
   Ingesting words with our eyes
   Its food for the soul
   by pdhski
3. We all live and die
   but Charlotte saves humble pig
   before she passes.
   by Jim, about Charlotte’s Web
4. Firefighters torch books,
   ideas are dangerous.
   One wakes up, escapes.
   by Jim, about Fahrenheit 451
5. Most people in need
   Turn to comfort foods. But me,
   I have comfort books.
   by Sarah
6. Lots of words fill it.
   Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs.
   Find out what they mean.
   by redwall_hp, about Webster’s Dictionary

Thank you all for your participation. It was fun. I think we found, too, that it is much harder to haiku a specific book.
