Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
After gathering all the votes I can now announce our winner of our third kukai "juxtaposition". It was a tough task this time to create a haiku for this kukai, because of the limitation that you had to use "juxtaposition" in it.
In total there were 24 haiku submitted by 9 haiku poets. And I will announce the winner in a little while, because I would ask you all something.
As you maybe remember I have asked your permission to open up the judging for the kukai also to haiku poets who didn't submit haiku. I think that it will not be a problem, but I really love to ask your opinion on it. So please share your thoughts about this with us in the comments field. Thank you.

Thanks very much Kristjaan. Wonderful - I totally agree about the judging and that is really a fine logo. I sense with this Kukai we are at the beginnings of something big. Ithink your prizes are very generous but look forward to reading Ese's seductive haiku - she is one of your very best pupils, as she started haiku-writing through you at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai and I know she is delighted.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Hamish.. love your haiku and it's haunting image. So good.
DeleteTwo amazing poets I admire and learn from each day. I wonder, Kristjaan, if it feels like a father looking at his children who are growing and blossoming in the art of haiku...you are a great teacher!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl Lynn ... i am glad and proud to see how the family members of cdhk are growing to great haiku poets ... i just cherish them all ... maybe that makes me 'the patriarch' ... i don't know.
DeleteCheryl Lynn those words are so kind. With your haibun you created a very specific theme or genre that is yours, which I really and appreciate and enjoy, and as you know, I greatly admire your troiku..
DeleteCertainly two of your most special poets - I have listened and learned from both Ese and Hamish - Congratulations indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis surely came as a surprise - thank you very much, Chèvrefeuille! Hamish is right - I am delighted! It is a true pleasure to be a part of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai family as well as a student, learning from each challenge.
ReplyDeleteAbout judging - I think it would be nice for the poets who didn' t submit a haiku to judge and share their opinion as well. The more, the merrier! :)
A very sincere congratulations to Ese and Hamish - delightful haiku! Once again thank you Chèvrefeuille for all your wonderful work and imaginative features! Bastet
ReplyDeleteHearty congratulations to Ese and Hamish, both wonderful and fine haiku poets. Chev, thanks so much for what you are doing on CDHK. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners! Another one down, so onward. Kristjaan, as I often say, I don't know how you do it. It's a pleasure being a part of this group. I too think the more the merrier as far as the judging goes.
ReplyDeleteHearty congratulations to dear Ese & Hamish <3 <3
ReplyDeletebeautiful Haiku indeed! Thanks to our Chèvrefeuille for his guidance & inspiration. CDHK is a beautiful community. Take care friends!
