The island magic
Gathers and settles us like puppies
Happy, howling young pups

Down by the sandy beach
The children frolic and play
Parents drink the beer

Granite cliffs, blue skies
Drinking Kegger Back Pack Beer
We sleep under Braken Ferns

Ancient summer gathering
Timeless inebriation
Flows through our minds eye

Laughing we share all.....
Keggites compare estranged lives
Under giant green pines

Where lies my lady?
Crumpled by the Keg she lies,
Six miles the keg she carried

"Tacoma Water received 333 entries from Tacoma fifth- and seventh-grade
students in a contest to write haikus about water. The first-prize winner

First place in the seventh grade went to Lauren Anderson of Mason Middle
