Japanese Christmas

Spurgeon's College, where I in the past have been a part-time student, has been running a competition for a Christmas Haiku (a three-line Japanese poem).

Here is the winning entry:

The eternal born
Large heaven collider small
Christmas breaks the rules

There were two runners-up:

O come, Heart's Longing,
plumb my soul and, through darkness,
explode into light

No stars descended
No crust of earth erupted
The universe turned

And here is the winning entry from the under 18s:
Mary you've got mail
Not from Facebook or Saint Nick
It's from an angel

Perhaps a St James & St Anne's competition next year?
