diamond jubilee—
a girl practices
her curtsies
.
conflict diamonds—
boy soldiers sharpen
machetes
.
diamonds—
the glaze on this girl’s
eyes

Kukai results 12 October 2011
Delighted! My haiku “starry night” came second (tied) in the July/August 2011 Sketchbook Kukai (peer-reviewed contest).
Here it is:
starry night—
growing old
together
Delighted also that several of my fellow haijin from NaHaiWriMo did so well, esp Terri Hale French (1st), Michelle Harvey, Cara Holman, and others…
Two other haiku I submitted received no votes! Food for thought, of course.
