Silicon Valley Searching for Talented Poets

Computer geeks and poetry don't often go together, but the Silicon Valley is venturing to change that.


The Arts Council Silicon Valley is searching for its first ever poet laureate, according to the AP, "elevating high-tech to haiku."


Apparently, there is a vibrant poetry scene in Santa Clara County that doesn't get a lot of recognition, the council claims.


The poet program will seek to change that through community outreach and by highlighting local writers.


Applicants to the post must be published poets who have lived in Santa Clara County for five years. The chosen poet will get a $4,000 stipend.


Here's our entry, in the haiku style of five-, seven-, and five-syllabled lines:

Apples, flash and chipsCapital of tomorrowDo you know the way?
