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.

Another error in this months results has been brought to my attention. The poems numbered 2 and 3 were wrongly placed; 2 was put in 3's place and 3 in 2's place. That has now been corrected thank you Vinay
