burdened no longer the tree~
my leaf piles are huge!
Please post in your Authors notes that "This is a great form of poetry that flows from my thoughts, though the picture I see is greater, I have summed it all up beautifully in such short verse."
Please use SPELL CHECK as this too will count when I am judging as will
syllable counts....

donated by an anonymous party.....

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 28, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: Wow! I am totally astonished by the entries in this contest..so many, all beautiful and creative in their own ways......Not an easy one to judge
After a long hard debate fighting against my thoughts I have made my final decisions. Since all the poems were to me so beautiful I decided to give HM's to the 44 other Haiku that didn't place in the top Six choices..yes I said top SIX!
There are three poems at the bottom in which
you are to place in another contest so your awards can be given promptly!
Since at this time I can't see the Authors the name of their poem is in place below,
Mornings become crisp
Master Weaver
Acorn
Also I would like to thank those of you whom have supported our group Visions through Haiku...and those of you whom have graciously donated your valuable points as without you all, the contest I run wouldn't be possible!
Congratulations to everyone, thank you for your beautiful entries, patience and your hard effort in writing!
May your day be warm and beautiful...Ken IBT ......and the rose is for the Ladies, lmao!
