Shintai Haiku

FIRST PLACE

the high sky —

inside my wholeness...

nothingness

Gautam Nadkarni

SECOND PLACE

THIRD PLACE

in your eyes

the only song giving

me hope

Angelo B. Ancheta

claiming the night...

howling wolves and

arctic winds

Grace Galton

SEVEN HONORABLE MENTIONS

(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

grass blade

let go of the dew

me too

Anusha Tennakoon

world war one marbles

rivalries of a childhood

buried long ago

William Hart

a melody

among the dahlias

bees at work

Vidur Jyoti

break of dawn--

all the field cows

facing east

Carole MacRury

Hope to fall to sleep

and not to hear

the grandfather's clock

Liette Janelle

simmering

tea kettle on the stove…

wind in the pines

CaroleAnn Lovin

winter dawn

the dream of you

glued to my eyelids

Ernest Wit
