Seven Honourable Mentions
(In no particular order)
pruning I take a book
a branch of stars on the journey and it takes me
sickle moon on another

his thoughts revealed - catheter
I notice the dark side urinary leg bag—
of the moon no shorts this summer
Susan Constable, Canada Ignatius Fay, Canada
Listen- dead end job
frozen stream, stopping for a smoke
still gurgles. the gravedigger
Jasper Hawker, USA André Surridge, New Zealand
old sail maker
at the river railing
eyes a cobweb

in the silver river and all of the lake
of the Milky Way in the lake

Step on me white dove –
Thousands of busy feet the sound of its shadow
City walkway crossing the street
Mrs. Arati Anand, USA Don Baird
water sieved mist weaving
through an old man's hand– through cedars, the rise and fall
ebb tide of unknown voices

the bouncing ball old grievances
and its shadow push off a bitter wind
against each other in the churchyard

Sign of The Times
(a haiku sequence)
again, she tidies
the almost empty desk
another lay-off
job fair
the line keeps growing
longer and longer
foreclosed house
the children’s swing
stops swinging
tent city
they welcome
the newcomers
Victor P. Gendrano, USA
for miles down coast A few garbage bags
bright city lights of yellow leaves
meet the dark sea still cling to the oak tree
William Hart Jasper Hawker, USA
Little Shoes
child sniffles – Inquisitive...
misty eyes linger the gingersnap cat stares as
on little blue shoes I get undressed

dust snow-fairies'
dance in space- night dance - at dawn
sunbeam white veils on the ground

drunken butterflies alone in the dunes
swooning in the sunlight: sky reflecting
summer symphony the cataract in my dog’s eye
