Along with four of her poems being recently chosen among the best haiku in “The Mainichi” in Japan for 2015, Australian haiku poet Marietta McGregor has also gained two top-ten placings in the Fourth Annual Haiku Contest run by an American literary magazine called “The Lincoln Underground” – this competition requires that entries comply with a 5-7-5 format:
racing the ebb tide
children dash to write their names
in water color
– Second place
tumbled steambed rocks
playing deep arpeggios…
rivers in spring thaw
– Tenth place
