Contest is Over

  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Wow, thank you for all the cool karate-ku! They were so inspirational, with many wonderful haikus. I loved each haiku you all entered!

    First place: Haiku-described exactly how I felt that day

    Second place: Give Advantage-loved it, and yes, I was the oldest under the rank of black belt there, and it worked on board breaking for me just like the haiku described. (first place trophy sitting on the shelf for it )

    Third place: eighty-five-what a great senryu!

    HMs are all great-Metamorfosis-good nature haiku, but an excellent TKD one. I am at the point of being able to "fly" in TKD, next belt test I will.

    Thank you everyone!
