new year's lunch
the sunpatch on the plate
of a belated guest
--Jacek Margolak; POLAND
The haiku above was sent to me from Jacek Margolak - Saturday, January 02, 2010 7:34 AM
yet by my mistake it was not listed, and subsequently not voted in the kukai.
Dear Jacek my apologies.
Please do not let this deter you from future participation
much love

The Kukai - a haiku contest, where each person submits a haiku, and then, becomes a judge. When all the poems are compiled in a list, the contestants comment, vote, and give scores to poems of their choice. One cannot comment on, nor vote for one’s own poem. At the end of the voting process winners emerge, the selection based on votes by the kukai’s contestants.
