And the congratulations keep coming… Haiku Oz would like to congratulate Peter Macrow for his recent success in the Rain Haiku competition.
Peter’s haiku:
waiting
for spring rain to stop
I clean the shower
has been selected to be published in a forthcoming anthology of the winning entries.
Haiku Oz would also like to announce the success of another Australian haiku poet, Ynes Sanz. Ynes is also one of the eight poets selected to have their haiku published on a haiku umbrella as part of the rain Haiku competition.
Her haiku:
under the thunderhead
throwing a last stick
to the dogs
Congratulations Ynes!
Australian haiku poet, Lynette Arden, has recently had one of her haiku selected to appear on a haiku umbrella as part of the Rain Haiku competition. Lynette’s haiku is one of only eight selected from the one thousand haiku received.
Her selected haiku:
city lunch in rain
neon lights flick colours
across the menu
HaikuOz congratulates Lynette on this fine achievement.
Australian haiku poet, John Bird, is a joint-winner of the British Haiku Society James W Hackett award for the following haiku.
winter festival
a village stray settles
at the busker’s feet
James W Hackett comments: “A picturesque, unique scene, well suggested. The stray lying down at the feet of the entertainer is a poignant, ‘Wordsworthian’ moment.”
HaikuOz congratulates John on this fine achievement.
