Dexter + Chaney’s clients were asked to submit construction haikus, and get in touch with the inner poet in each of them. Every year Dexter + Chaney hosts the annual Connect Users Conference and this year it is in downtown Seattle. At the users conference this year, one of the clients will be awarded the first Dexter + Chaney Construction Poet Laureate.
The winning haiku writer will receive a fabulous prize for having such a creative mind, and have the knowledge that they are the best poet of the year. Below are the haikus that were submitted. Share your comments and help us pick the winner!
Haiku Refresher
Do you remember how to create a haiku (I didn’t). A haiku is a non-rhyming Japanese poem that has 17 syllables, organized in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
Chasing change orders
Profit or loss, fingers crossed
Apps and graphs keep track
Cost overruns near?
Dexter + Chaney saves the day!
Bring me my beer fee.
Customers are dear
Keeping our techs on their toes
Turning on the A.C.
Behold! Disrepair.
Rearrange. Reform. Rebuild.
Behold! Something new.
Construct it on time
Construct it on budget too
Construct it for you
It is Spring again!
Time for construction fever
