VCBF organizers have asked a few British Columbia celebrities, public figures, and community leaders to try their hand at haiku. The following are some of their poems.

Spring comes early
Blossoms welcome warmth
The world's seasons change

• The Honourable Gordon Campbell
  Premier of British Columbia

 Quietly they fall
Petals sign in chorus
My ears surrender

• Chef Karen Barnaby
  The Fish House in Stanley Park

Falling like snow
Cherry blossoms tell me one last chance
To hit the slopes

• Ross Rebagliati
  Olympic Gold Medalist, Snowboarding

Feathers and light
Om Hare Krsna Om Shanti
Annastasia's eyelashes

• Bif Naked

White birds swoop
Before cherry blossoms in the wake 
A ferry crossing

• BC Ferries

Pods of pink
Release spring scents
And our reverie

• Mark Forsythe
  BC Almanac, CBC Radio

A freshly cut pitch
Two teams seeking perfection
The Beautiful Game

• Bob Lenarduzzi
  President, Vancouver Whitecaps FC

A creeping trigger
The heart races, breathing stops
Now, beyond the call

• Chief Jim Chu
  Vancouver Police Department

Shakespeare blossoms
The fragrance of the bloom
Intoxicates the world

• Christopher Gaze
  Artistic Director, Bard on the Beach
