FIRST PLACE:

 

HAIKU

 

splashes of black on gray

hovering above a charcoal sea~

hot coffee in hand

~~Hugh Starkey

 

SECOND PLACE:

 

HAIKU

 

with all the small bones,

large ones must be the mother's

snow has whitened ash

~~Tammy Kaiser

 

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.
