Memorial Scholarship Proxy Substitution

Haikus

Scholarship goes out
To the one who looks the most
Like the boy we lost

Sister Casserole
Scores the essays in the dark
Tears upon the page

Undocumented
We do not grade on the math
Only on the shape

Substitution made
Replacing the empty space
With a living child

Grief is the metric
Published rules are pushed aside
Sorrow wins the grant
