re-reading these haiku (Kigo and FF both) - many of them resonated as

few others I'd like to have enough votes for.
**Looking forward to seeing what the results will be! And thank you
for all your work in keeping these competitions going -- they mean a
lot to the Kenyan students
** I wish we had twelve points! There are always about 6 more nice
haiku that I want to vote for.
