The results of the 6th Annual Shiki Poets’ Choice Kukai (haiku contest) were announced last night by Robert Bauer.\u00a0 You should be able to find all the winners in a day or so at the The Shiki Monthly Kukai<\/a> website.\u00a0 Here are three highly-rated poems by two of our Honored Guest Poets:<\/p>\n

early spring
\nall night the pond ice
\nshifts its weight<\/p>\n

…. by tom painting (2nd Place, 2008 6th Annual Shiki Poets’ Choice Kukai)<\/p>\n

first firefly \"\"
\nthe electrician shuts
\nhis toolbox<\/p>\n

a field
\nof faceless pumpkins…
\nAutumn begins<\/p>\n

…. by ed markowski<\/a>
\n“a field” – (3rd Place, 2008 6th Annual Shiki Poets’ Choice Kukai)
\n“first firefly” – (10th Place, 2008 6th Annual Shiki Poets’ Choice Kukai)<\/p>\n

If you’re in the mood for poems with an autumn theme, check out our post<\/a> from September 25th, which featured that month’s Shiki Kukai results.<\/p>\n

p.s.<\/strong><\/em> Prof. Yabut got up quite early and is particularly grumpy this morning.\u00a0 He wants me to ask our Shiki friends to reconsider the way they enumerate and describe contest results. Right now, e.g.<\/em>, if there are four poems tied for 3rd Place (all receiving the same number of points), the next poem is designated 4th Place by Shiki, when it is actually in 7th Place.\u00a0 Similarly, if two poems are tied for 2nd place, they call the next poem 3rd Place, when it is really 3rd.\u00a0 It’s sort of like grade-creep. [Lawyers are so picky, aren’t they?]<\/p>\n

still blocking
\nmy river view \u2013
\na few stubborn red leaves<\/p>\n

tank full
\nand bladders empty —
\nsoon, vice-versa<\/p>\n
