Shintai Haiku
First Place
half-moon in a foreign sky
the other half
I keep at home
Lydia Lecheva
Second Place
Third Place
fissured fields
watering the crop
with his tears
Dr Brijesh Raj
ice fog
everything familiar
unfamiliar
Debbie Strange
Seven Honourable Mention
(In no particular order)
at sunset
the young pine’s shadow
taller than pines
Patrick Doerksen
a hallelujah --
brightness pierces from behind
billowing winter clouds
Jennifer Hernandez
mailbox peeks above
shoulder-high piles of snow
lone sentinel
Jennifer Hernandez
Ten degrees bright frost
ten inches unwelcome rain
all one winter day
Michele Waering
frosted trunk…
the futile beak strikes
of a woodpecker
Sip of ice cream soda
never lasted long enough,
just like childhood.
Terry Adams
Ali Znaidi
foggy window pane --
the child scribbles
a smiley
