Haiku Club 2010 March Saijiki Contest Winners:iconthe-haiku-club:
Thank you to everyone who contributed works to the Haiku Club's 2010 March Saijiki Contest! Here are the winners! =D
First Place goes to daffodils spring haiku by :devitti:. Great form, with the sweet sorrow of leaving a warm bed to find the morning suns warmth has coaxed the flowers arrival. Excellent pivot line, and I like the contrast of crawl and emerge.
Second Place goes to wet grass summer senryu by :devpaperdart:. The juxtaposition of the first two lines with the third, in which each in isolation elicits little, creates a very strong emotional impact.
Third Place goes to the first full moon
