He fought in Korea and came home to work for the Salt Lake City PD while taking college courses (and serving in the National Guard in some capacity as an intelligence guy). He then graduated from the University of Utah with a PhD, specializing in Criminal Justice and Religion. He taught at Cal State San Bernardino for over two decades. He was a tuff Marine!
I dedicate the following haiku to my dad (see below). RIP, Sergeant Lindsey. I salute you: Thank you for serving, and for being my dad.
My life life is like a
Spindly little hyacinth
Anxious for nothing
The Fox gave wisdom.
Psyche died for Orual.
What does the Fox say?
Haiku by Wallace Wolfe
My Ancient Literature class at Coram Deo Academics (a Classical Education resource for homeschoolers in Michigan) is finishing up Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold, by CS Lewis. This week I’m announcing an extra credit assignment that will serve as a poetry contest. Three prizes will be awarded. I’ll submit the poems I receive on this site, and I’m asking readers and followers to help me select first, second, and third prizes. The due date will be March 10 (when I’ll post all poems received). So please return and help me with this project via comments. I have a fantastic group of kids (grades 7 through 12), and I suspect that you will see some exceptional work. No restraints will be given with regard to form and content. The only guidelines I’ll lay down will be that at least one line must mention either the book and/or character(s) in the book. Pseudonyms will be used for students’ work unless parents grant permission for actual names.
In the meantime, I have an appetizer: Orual’s Complaint, my latest haiku . . . .
