Kukai No 39 was the last for this year 2012. We rest in November and December.
I have been prompted several times over this year for a Poets Choice Kukai; so what i will do is collect the first 100 winners from when our kukai started and prepare a list for Poets Choice; however, this kukai will happen in 2013 .
We will begin the year 2013 with a Poets Choice Kukai; after which, we will continue with our monthly themes
Remember in December/January The Twelve Days Of Christmas' at Lunch Break i welcome your participation; and will remind you later again this year about it
much love

May I suggest that for the poets' choice kukai, the rule that 3 points is the maximum one may assign to a single poem be followed? This rule is otherwise common (universal?) in kukai. In a few instances, results of the CKK have been distorted by one person assigning 6 points to one poem; here in the US, we call that stuffing the ballot box.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill i will remember to include this in the Poets Choice Kukai; Happy Holidays

I agree with Bill. Wondered this same six-points "politics" too. And if a voter thinks there is only one text to give his/her points, so let's that be max 3 point, and just once?
ReplyDeleteAlso if there is none "good" text, so why not allow not to vote.
Sometimes I counted the points from Shiki Kukai voting and I think there is quite often many voters didn't vote at all? So what?
