The Haiku Contest
did not garner a large number of entries, but the two winners did a
credible job. Congratulations to Hugh and Tammy. Winners received a
1-year subscription to Calliope
and a certificate only their mothers will prize.
The winning haiku are published
below.
Editor’s Note: As we go to press, Pat is in a two-week residency at the
Writer's Colony at Dairy Hollow (Eureka Springs, AR) working on her
novel. Look for her regular column in the Summer issue.
