Congratulations to Dawn Bruce and Jo McInerney for winning joint first prize in the latest Paper Wasp Jack Stamm Haiku Competition.
Dawn’s winning haiku was:
moonrise
a flow of shadows
along the river
While Jo’s haiku was:
bare hills
the horizon looped
between post and wire
As Jacqui Murray says in her introduction to the Jack Stamm Anthology, ‘Both haiku have an elegant but non-obtrusive complexity that throws up one image whilst inviting more’.
Congratulations also to Jan Dobb for her lovely haiku that was awarded third prize:
spilling
from the sound of thunder
a rain drop
