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.

first date -
we lie listening
for her footsteps
--john McDonald
Votes: 32**** Points: 07
Comment 1: I'm giving this a point for its intended meaning, but it desperately needs a "her" in line 1. Without it, you have a couple being naughty on their first date (!) and fearing that Mama is going to catch them.
Comment 2: This would read more smoothly if the word "awake" was inserted after "lie".
