RockOut’s celebration of Acceptance Day & Halloween Haikus
During LGBTQ+ History Month, on Thursday, October 24th, 2019, RockScissorsPaper participated in RockOut’s celebration of Acceptance Day. During common hour, an array of clubs and organizations gathered in the quad to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. We had a booth to show our support and to engage with the campus community through a writing activity.
We had people write their own haikus using spooky-themed words as inspiration. A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem that consists of three lines. The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the last line has five syllables. The RSP staff read through all of the haikus and picked the best ones. You can find these below!
I will rise again
Groves hold on bodies, not souls
I live on, elsewhere

Thank you to everyone who participated in our activity and thank you RockOut for continuing to support the LGBTQ+ community on campus. RSP will continue to be supportive of freedom of expression and love in all forms. We feel grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a positive and lovely event.
