THIS LEVEL OF VOTING IS NOW FINISHED. PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING LINK TO VOTE IN THE GRAND HAIKU FINAL.
poetichorizons.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=haiku&action=display&thread=1327
Voting rules
In the event of a tie there will be a second ballot,
All poems in the lead with the same number of votes will go into a second round of voting - which will only last for THREE days. If we still have a tie at that point, then I will have the casting vote (that is why I have barred myself from entering and voting)
Here are the entries.
Vote for one only.
Jeannerene (#1)
twigs and bit of string
hope gathered under the sun
a song is promised
Jeannerene (#2)
the wild flower waves
in red, blue nod and curtsy
and miles of highway
inkpetal
rich loam scented breeze
robin's bright crimson feathers
so I wait for you
Malcolm (#1)
The salt sea wind blows
Billowing clouds dark and bright
Flee the azure sky
Malcolm (#2)
The earth becomes warm
Daffodils flower and fade
Forsythia blooms.
Malcolm (#3)
fertile comes the hour
the growth of leaf and flower
insect pests devour
Tom (#1)
Sprung from Winter's bed
Sprang from melted snows and frost
Spring leaps, green and clean
Tom (#2)
The earth worm wiggles
Falling among giggles, safe...
Hides in grass and soil
Aatiyah (#2)
Drip Drop Drip Drop Drip
Hear the water crash downward
toward the petals.
ladonna
How can we describe
the perfection of springtime
in only three lines?
Tom #3
Water of Spring flow...
Nourish Your children's deep seed...
Watch their spirits grow
Rebecca
Tiny little drop
Splashes down upon my face
Spring is here at last
Jeannerene #3
morning gems glisten
under the shade the sun smiles
prisms fall to earth
Jeannerene #4
midday wind sashays
seedlings dance and cast their fate
the end holds the new
