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.

Dear Gillena, I don't mean to be a pest (though I guess I am), but do you mean bluebird, the North American songbird of the genus Sialia (one word: "bluebird") or any bird of the color blue (two words: "blue bird")?
ReplyDeleteBill for this Kukai it will be any genus of bluebird; so then that makes it any bird that is blue; thank you for, Bill i welcome your interest in kukai #17; much love
