Kigo Theme: 

Any Summer Grass

First Place  — 18 Points

leaning papyrus —

the weight of a green

chameleon

Parkeenka Ntato

(2,4,4) = 18 pts

and

the neighbour's

unkempt lawn...

all these butterflies

polona

(1,4,7) = 18 pts

I especially like the ambiguity of line 3. Do I hear annoyance? surprise? delight? envy? All of the above?

Second Place  — 17 Points

bluestem

a flash of quail

in all directions

Tom Painting

(0,5,7) = 17 pts

Third Place  — 16 Points

struggling

through the tall grass -- a boy

July evening

a cricket still playing

on the cut grass

Jacek M.

(1,3,5) = 14 pts

Sixth Place  — 13 Points

lost in the sway

of summer grass

sweet innocence

Amicus

(2,1,5) = 13 pts

Very funny.

tall grass

an ant explores

her bra size

Rafal Zabratynski

(0,3,7) = 13 pts

Seventh Place  — 12 Points

the wind

through the buffalo grass

Little Big Horn

martin gottlieb cohen

(1,3,3) = 12 pts

Historiku is a form that rarely works for me, but this one nails it. Echoes of Basho, sure, but with a distinctly American accent.

Eighth Place — 11 Points

crickets —

scattering the scent

of dewy grass

kaiser

(1,2,4) = 11 pts

back country —

switchgrass covering

the soldier's worn stone

Bill Pauly

(0,2,7) = 11 pts

pampas grass —

one unseen cricket

after another

DeVar

(0,2,7) = 11 pts

I would have liked to have given this one an extra point.

a lawn sprinkler's arc

the only motion

Catherine J.S. Lee

Diane Mayr

(0,2,4) = 8 pts

late summer

a squirrel leaps high

to cross the lawn

Mary Stevens

(0,1,6) = 8 pts

A wonderful example of 'show' over 'tell' and the power of implication. We know the lawn has escaped control by the height of the squirrel's leaps.

Strongly pictorial, while still leaving the reader something to do.

dog days —

the slow wave

of summer grass

rob scott

(0,1,6) = 8 pts

summer grass

flat with the imprint

of us

Meredith Stern Cavalieri

a white golf ball rolls on

the turf grass

(0,2,2) = 6 pts

It's been a hot, hot July in Arizona. I only dream of a cool morning for golf!

her blonde hair

on the grass

summer high

Mr PC

(1,0,1) = 4 pts

A writer after my own soul, this poet is.

too much grass —

it's growing under

your feet

(0,2,0) = 4 pts

Her hair pinned up,

her fingers comb into

a stray clump of chives.

Chuck Welt

(0,1,1) = 3 pts

fresh mown hay —

pulling on the nostrils

the smell of the childhood

Petru-Ioan Garda

(0,0,3) = 3 pts

I find this haiku brimming with nostalgia; though I feel it would benefit from having the articles (the) removed, in particular from the last line. Still, it evokes for me that one-and-only scent of new mown hay - reading it, I found myself transported - a childhood vision of myself, standing in a field and sniffing. Beautiful.

pouting child

a stubborn clump of crabgrass

under the swing set

Elinor Pihl Huggett

Wonderfully echoing contrasts of 'pouting', 'stubborn' and 'crab.

Nelson Eboso

cold morning —

mosquito eggs sway on

dew blue grass

Shamim Mmbone

I like this one for its imagery and potential grace, though it's flawed. Blue grass is a cool season grass rather than summer. It's worth revising for submission elsewhere. I'd suggest something like: cold morning--/mosquito eggs swaying/on a dewy blade.

(Staff note: Shamim is from Kenya)
